Marvelous Monday!

So, it's Marvelous Monday take two --- a tradition recently started which you can read about here if you are so inclined. Oh, I've had a WONDERFUL weekend so it's very easy to find lots of things for which I am thankful.

I am thankful for amazing Greek food...
















eaten at one of our favourite beach side restaurants...
















followed by a peaceful  lakeside walk with my husband.
















I'm thankful for white sailboats against a blue sky...
















that I can admire from afar while my feet are firmly planted on the shore, so there's no risk of me getting horribly seasick!
















I'm thankful for my beautiful purple bearded iris that popped open this weekend...
















and for our newly-planted garden and it's promise of delicious things to come.

I'm thankful for our first campfire...
and wiener roast of the season...

and for this male oriole who sang such a beautiful love song to his mate, providing us with the most incredible dinner music that no money can ever buy.















But mostly this long weekend, I'm thankful for this lady...























because even though I'm a complete anti-monarchist, I love having a long weekend in May. So Happy Birthday Queen Victoria! God save the queen. And God save the peasants from the queen. Because peasants rock and queens don't. The end.  :)
