(Does Canada make any wine?)
Quite a bit, but I don't know how available it is. Don't listen to bon, ice wine is gross.
Congratulations on celebrating Canadian thanksgiving!
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just turned on our heat, here in Sunny! Southern! California! Just to keep the place 70 degrees whilst it is dank and overcast outside.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
YMMV on the virtues of ice wine-- it is delicious but very sweet -- but it is a true fact that it is what the Canadian wine industry is known for internationally. Yum.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY for good first days! The internets missed you all too!
It's cold here too, and we are supposed to get a big storm tonight and tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Icewine is crack. I'm not big on sweet in general, but I can polish off icewine like nobody's business.
Today's forecast didn't have home or work topping 70. Leather jacket and wool pants weather. Uh, all apologies to those with snow. It's just SoCal, you know. My weather widget says it's raining, but the window disagrees.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Icewine from the Okanagan, people. Best shit in the motherfucking WORLD.
For Canadian Thanksgiving, I looked longingly at Canadian Food online. Yesterday, we accidentally had Canadian Thanksgiving-ish dinner with my folks. Oh, and my mother fowarded me a Happy Thanksgiving mail last week.
This was the extent of my Canadian Thanksgiving Experience.

Because books.
I've yet to have icewine, but it's huge up here, so close to Canada.

I have no tolerance for sweet wines.

Me either, though I have never had ice wine.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You and me both, Sue. I used to be a horrible snob and sneer at people who drink white zinfandel ("PINK wine? You mean Kool-Aid?"), and then I realized what a jackass I was being. Now my basic attitude is, drink what you like, but I might not like what you like, so don't take offense if I turn down your offer of pink wine.
