| The "snow-labyrinth" near my house. |
What makes you sit up and take
notice? What’s your Pavlov’s dog-signal? What
inspires a bee-line? What gets your spider-sense tingling? In other words, (and
using another superhero metaphor), what’s your bat-signal?
According to my pea-brained research, these are some
typical bat-signals (mostly in no particular order):
1. Beauty.
2. Sirens.
3. Shadows.
4. The
Look.
5. Wine.
6. Burning.
7. Dogs
barking.
8. Cruelty.
9. Popcorn.
10. Sautéed
garlic and onions.
11. Irritatingly
unidentifiable noises.
12. Nothing.
13. Butterflies.
14. Roses.
15. Nachos.
16. The
Hockey Night in Canada song.
17. A
variety of other songs such as but not limited to various TV theme songs,
“WYMC” and “The Chicken Dance.”
18. Coffee.
19. The
ice cream truck.
But most of all?
20. Barbeque.
Please Spring. Don’t abandon us. We. Need. Barbeque.

I remember learning about Ivan Pavlov in psychology class
Pavlov...Pavlov. That rings a bell.
So why is my mouth watering?
"What's that, a mouse?"
Love the photo of the snow labyrinth!
That list could nearly be my list! I'm with you - I think we all need to call up spring and keep calling until she gets her warm, flowery hiney out here! Enough with the cold/snow/freezing wind, etc.
The sound of a notification on my cell phone. As terrible as that is.
I can see my barbecue. I can't get to it, but sometimes I look out the window, longingly, at it.
I always seem to notice when things are out of place faster than other people. Not to OCD proportions, but still it's difficult to surprise or trick me unless you're really good. Aside from that, your list & mine would look very similar
