The last of the snow?

Or the beginning of the next ice age? This is our second snowy  period this winter, unusual for us to have snow at all, never mind twice in one winter. However, it is all melting now, even the ski slope lookalike that is usually our drive.
Today, I met three beautiful hens that a friend keeps as pets. They are called Silkies and have feathery feet and bouffant hairstyles. I was so taken with them that I never thought to take a photograph, they would have made a lovely blip. Maybe another time.
