~Simply Pleasures: Apple Cider~

Isn't it the greatest feeling when something you hated becomes something you love? For a long time I hated apple cider, now before you think I'm crazy which I totally am..."all the best people are" you have to understand that my family has only drunk this delicious drink cold. That's right COLD! And apple cider cold, I hated. Only this fall have I found out that you can make a wondrous drink called Hot Cider by warming up your cold cider....duh. And since that great discovery, I haven't been able to stop drinking it. Now I only wish that the 84 degrees out side would turn into sweater weather so that I could really enjoy the fall feeling.

Liking:

I'm watching the green give into gold
As summer becomes October's cold
Gravity begs
For one final kiss
She drops it to him, as she gives in
....
As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when ....
The days were warm and we wore them like skin
Now I feel the effects of October again
...
I'm watching the green give in to gold
As summer becomes Octobers cold
