Winter. FINALLY

[forsyth]

Today, I saw the first exploratory scouts of winter. They were tiny and fragile things, that melted the instant they touched anything, but they were there, small and white and drifting on the breeze. For a brief while, at least. And then they were gone like fleeting vapor on the wind, back to report to their superiors perhaps, or off to tantalize others with a hint of the winter we haven't had. But the snowflakes were there, I saw them. Woot!
