For many people gardening can be a relaxing routine and a wonderful hobby. This is one of my valgal greeting cards that is called "Love Grows" and my submission for Illustration Friday's "routine" theme. Love could be a nice routine :) We are on holiday at Martha's Vineyard and are having a wonderful time but I couldn't not post as it has been almost 3 solid years of posting on IF every Friday. I probably won't be able to visit every one this week but I hope you all have fun and I might miss next Friday but I will try my best to find something for the theme. I am fortunate to use my sister's computer, Thanks Dee Dee! We started our trip in New York, drove to Connecticut stopped in Mystic where there are some charming houses and buildings! I took some amazing pictures but accidently deleted them :( Drove through Rhode Island and then to Massachusetts. Rode the ferry and now we are in Martha's Vineyard, Yay! My family rents a house here every other year. I will take lots of pictures and post them when I am home. Have a great weekend, your pal, valgal.

Oooh! I hope you are having a great time at Martha's Vineyard. (I like your blog music). What a routine you have every Friday for the past three years. I am so glad you are part of my world.
I was just thinking about you...wondering how your vacation is going...if you would be able to post something, and I was pleasantly surprised to see you did!( actually, I wasn't too surprised....now, if you ever missed, that WOULD be surprising!)
'sorry about the deleted pics; 'sounds like something I would do. Have a great trip, Val!
Valgal,
I'm sitting here watching you rub mom's feet. It's fun to post on your blog when we're in the same room! :) I think we're gonna have an awesome week...

I do miss gardening. But I'm glad I didn't miss your post this week! What a gorgeous little garden and an even more gorgeous sentiment. Have a fantastic holiday on magical Martha!
ooooooh, Seals and Crofts. Now you've melted me completely! Wonderful garden Val. I grew up in Mass and have never, ever been to MV :( Now that we'll be moving back to Rhode island I'll finally get to the islands one day.

A magical illustration and you certainly can match image, text and music!
Gorgeous and wonderful as ever!
Beautiful little garden. Glad you posted it. Sure hope you enjoy your stay at MV. How could you not, eh?
saluti da scorzè, ciao a tutti voi, poi arriva gigi...
Oh, I love your illustration! The birdbath, the flowers, it all is adorable :) Enjoy your trip and be safe!
I had to come back for another dose of your garden and Seals and Crofts :)
To answer your question, we're trying very hard to move back to Rhode Island but the job my husband applied for fell through :(
We're trying to find a way to make it work and taking a chance on finding jobs after we get there. Scary for middle-agers!
That's where faith kicks in :)
( or insanity!)
I love this wonderland :o)
Qué bonito!!!!! me encanta todo lo que haces
Woah, this is the garden I've been dreaming of... or one of the gardens I've been dreaming of.
Love this one. Very whimsical.
Super, Val!
