"The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze."
- John Updike, September

Ye Olde Tavern's Burgundy Cider
1 gallon apple cider
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
3/4 cup sugar
1 bottle Burgundy wine

Heat the cider, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves and sugar in a large pot.
Stir until the sugar dissolves. Heat to a boil and remove from heat. Add wine.
I like to place mixture in a crock pot and keep warm during serving.
