#sunsetwine

It's taken a week, some teamwork with Mom and Dad, and some very cold fingers while it snowed around me, but I finished unpacking and setting up the balcony today. I have a wonderful new sofa from my parents. It was my birthday present from them (seven months early, so we can enjoy it while it's warm), and I cannot wait to sit out there and lounge around with a book (either one I'm reading, or one I'm writing.) And I've set up a new trellis for the #MorningGlory. Hopefully it'll get enough sun on the east side of the balcony. They were getting absolutely fried in the morning on the west side, which is why I replaced them with fake foliage last year. I know I'm being optimistic, and this is only #FoolsSpring, but it felt nice to hang the solar lights, lay down new carpet, touch up the chipped paint, and add new curtain lights and foliage in time for the #VernalEquinox. Welcome back, my little urban oasis! I can't wait for the return of #SunsetWine. Now I just have to wait for it to be consistently warm enough to start my #MeadowFlower, #Sunflower, and #MorningGlory seeds. . . . #balcony #balconydecor #balconyfurniture #balconylife #balconyoasis #writingspace #writingnook #readingnook #balconygarden (at Prince Edward Viaduct) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbV67h3JOW0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The sunset has met its match! This is the “Tinto Classico” by Viña Mein: • • A blend of two sites planted in 1935 comprised of 60% Caiño Longo, 35% Brancellao and 5% Tintilla. Farmed organically, hand harvested, fermented in large foudre, aged in neutral French oak of varying sizes for 15 months. • • #rooftopwine #sunsetwine #viñamein #ribeiro #caiñolongo #brancellao #tintilla #spanishwine #commandog #wine #redwine #organicwine #wineporn #tipsytuesday (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Gx8RHnuLL/?igshid=m7x2ofqt2z6k

Hearty laughter could be heard following the awful pun, Idris poking his head out from the study, smile bright and warm as usual as he regards the other. “Oh, oh, that was very good– I must tell that to my son next time he calls, yes, yes.” His belly jiggled with every small chuckle before moving to sit across from the other gentleman. “Oh, do go on. I do love a good joke!”

“Lay it on me, pops.” Donny begins, chin now resting in his hands as he peers up at his one day to be father-in-law– How much has Donny grown! How accepting of adulthood he has become once he had settled by Virote’s side! It didn’t seem so scary anymore, the idea of being with someone– especially when that person was Virote. Such a calm, understanding sort of soul… “Whatcha wanna talk about, yeah?”

it’s not that funny. it really, really, _really_ wasn’t. but out of the **kindness** of her own heart, she laughs anyway, eyes crinkling in delight at the truly terrible dad joke he’d just delivered. her hand is covering her mouth as she laughs, head shaking and pointing downward as she tries to calm herself. it _really_ wasn’t that funny, but she couldn’t help it! >>“sorry, sorry – i don’t mean to laugh so much, it’s just…” she inhales deeply, the laughter finally settling. “it was just… _soooo_ bad, mr. srisati!”>[@sunsetwine](https://tmblr.co/mAAQyJb8clFgexKiqNN7-zw) she secretly enjoys the dad jokes, reminds her of her own papa

“Shit.  I dunno, but I didn’t think they were a veggie.”

A roquefort.”
