As are crispy apples, kittens, interesting people, ripe plums, cinnamon buns ... I think I should state that not all of these are for eating. I am just hungry right now, so those things are uppermost in my mind.
Sitting outside during a summer night, wearing a blanket and looking at stars and discussing what your crazy uncle has done this time. Used book stores. A perfect coffee. Surprises. Learning new things.
