Welcome, spring!

If Rudy sent out her own personalized holiday card, this would be the obvious choice for its picture.  If she published her own magazine, this would easily be the April cover.  Here she is, ecstatic with love for and pride over her three Lambies.  From left to right, they are Boom Lamb, Crazy Lamb (also known as Craze), and Hat Lamb.  And yes, you're right: Hat Lamb is not the one wearing a hat.  I have no idea what that's all about.

They are all in their Sunday best, ready for an animated promenade that exists in my happy imagination, and the Lambs are wearing clothes borrowed from Marley's American Girl Ashley, random baby dolls, and a recent shopping trip to Build-A-Bear, where they sell such things as summery white patent purses for stuffed animals.  Each Lambie has its own discerning features (and I'm sure, according to Rudy, their own personalities), and someday I will publish their complete profiles.  Until then, in all photographs featuring a Lamb, you should know to look for a less pronounced snout on Boom and a permanent dusty-charcoal smudge on Craze's nose and mouth.  Hat is merely the least worn, ragged, and soiled.  They are all fancy and floppy, and as silly as the girl who loves them.
