So much alliteration, I wonder if this was naturally flowing from your pen or intentional. Either way, it works.

Nope, not intentional. I don't know what causes this when I write, but my brain seems to click into sounds this way. It happens all the time, if you noticed...and you do, I know.

Winter is already here in Alberta my friend. We now have the snow that will stay. A fine Haiku. God Bless, JB

Wow. It's just mid-fall here. We probably won't see snow until the end of November or maybe later.

The cat was chasing the "skittering" (love that word use)oak leaves yesterday.

(chuckling) I wasn't even sure it was a word, but it certainly fit the bill. Thanks, John.
