Spring is here at last! While we still have a bit of a nip in the air, at least the signs of spring are all around. The ice is off the lake, the grass is starting to green up and assorted ducks and geese have started looking for nesting areas.
I was deciding which spring cuteness I would feature today and was thinking about lambs. I remembered that tucked in a closet, there was a tiny child sized suitcase that has been with me as long as I can remember.
My little suitcase is a bit battered and worn, but I still think the image is adorable. I still remember packing my toothbrush and PJ's for a overnight stay at my Grandmother's house in town. I think for a while when I got a bit older it held assorted Barbie and Skipper dolls and all their paraphernalia.
Sorry, getting off track, back to lambs. Since Easter is almost here I thought I would share a few vintage images that include lambs and a few other spring lovelies.
Before I do, here is a delightful and very appropriate poem for Easter.
The Lamb
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead
Gave thee clothing of delight
Softest clothing wooly bright
Gave thee such a tender voice
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee?
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb;
He is meek and he is mild,
He became a little child
I a child and thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
Thank you for taking the time to visit!
