• When an idea for a whole novel starts simmering in my mind
• When the air temp is high enough that the ice storm remnants melt
• That broccoli looks like little trees
• Finding new, interesting blogs
• Creeks
• Snowflakes on my tongue
• Foreign films with subtitles (I hate dubbed films)
• Dutch chocolate
• Chai latte
• Sting rays
