First snowflake!

I went out for a run alongside the river with our dog, the Duke of Orinoko, or just Noko. The sky was gray, the air was chilly, the tree branches were bare, the squirrels were busy dashing here and there to do their final stocking up for winter, and, quite frankly, it was kind of a dismal scene. Just when I thought I would turn around and head home for a cup of tea, I caught a glimpse of something white out of the corner of my eye. Could it be a snowflake? Yes! There was another one! That means ski season will be here soon, so I ran a bit longer, with a more of a bounce in my stride, in anticipation of being out on my skis again.
