Happy Birthday, Lover. 🎈You’re the best partner in life, the best Dada to Finny & the best supporter of my dreams and our family’s. 1986 was a good year 😏 & I know the best is yet to come. Cheers to you today - you deserve all the best & today I mayyyy just let you beat me in Mario Party 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNqmzPRFAKC/?igshid=nlhm0zkm5tuy

Looking back at 2020, I can’t help but feel overwhelming gratitude. I’ve watched people do extraordinary things. I’ve reconnected with old friends, made new ones, and strengthened cherished ones. My family made lemonade outta lemons this year - hitting personal, professional and family goals. We celebrated, we cried, we laughed, we yelled, we danced, we made bread, fancy coffee and we grew closer and stronger. Most importantly, I got to have lunch almost everyday with my sweet Finny. Finn, my sweet boy, you’ll never know how much your big hugs and kisses mean to me. You truly are all the good things & we can’t wait for all the things to come. #goodbye2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfgk0uFEUP/?igshid=1ufg3ik3kw3ug

We were up just before sunrise checking in on the 🍇🍇 & 🐝🐝. Harvest season is coming up & we are so excited for this year’s wine production

[shanelmarieapple]

When producing wine it’s very important to keep note of all the things that can affect the 🍇 🍇. Our handy little typewriter is crucial to our vineyard. 💖

On the hill tops of Starr Apple we have our wonderful vineyard. Our grapes are surrounded by buzzing honey bees and sweet lavender producing the most magical and delightful wine that taste of eternal summer. If you’d like to schedule a wine tasting, contact our little chateau so we can let our vineyard’s fierce guard dogs know that you’re on the guest list 🐶🐝🍇🥂

This photo was prompted by Zell who gave me a beautiful reminder. As I walked by the old gas station I couldn’t help but smile at the gnome left behind to guard the home and area, beautiful brown tones, sprinkles of purple and the perfect cloudy sky ❤️

Mother Nature is starting to spread its beauty to this little abandoned section on Starr Apple. An old home which doubled as a gas mart during the day, rusty gas pumps & a beat up truck remain standing - refusing to collapse because they are too full of memories.

Hung up le swim gear in the living room for when the urge to meet the sea hits 🌊🏊‍♀️

We don’t care that it’s cloudy ⛅️ on Starr Apple today because we’re going to jump right on in for an ocean dip 💦

Near the apple orchards and corn fields of Starr Apple Island we find Thunder, Peaches, & Sly eating away a healthy breakfast at the barn while Fred & Wilma sleep in. 💖 I also must say thank you to the incredibly talented @jin_men56 for drawing me 🐴🐴
