Well, are we really surprised the third month of the year did not arrive like a lamb and pounced forth like a lion instead? That nasty old groundhog had the rest of the Winter pegged, as did the “Old Farmer’s Almanac”, The Weather Channel, your local meteorologists, heck … even you and me. In fact, with our weather scenario the past three months or so, I half-expected the weather folks to say our one-day balmy March 1st was as gentle as a lamb after what we’ve endured the entire Winter season. Alas, we can only look forward to March 31st, and perhaps that day might be more lamb-like. But beware, the tail end of the month is also Opening Day here in Michigan, an event seldom blessed with ideal weather. Diehard Tiger fans will be there, rain or shine, snow or … whatever may be falling from the sky. The way I see it, I am sure I will be posting a lion’s photo as this month fizzles out, so why not share the sweet faces of these little fuzzball fellows who remind me of Lamb Chop, the famous lamb sock puppet of Shari Lewis. When I was a little girl there were Saturday morning cartoons and “The Shari Lewis Show” and I would never miss Shari as she worked her magic to bring Lamb Chop and her cohorts Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and Wing Ding to life. I was glued to the T.V., laughing and giggling at the skits with the famous ventriloquist and her mischievous puppets. Sure, Shari and her crew were cute and corny, but most of all, the show was wholesome and great entertainment for lambkins back in the early 60s.
