It's a Lamb ... Made Out of Sugar

I need to share with you the latest donation received at my office. On the one hand it's absolutely awful, on the other hand it's bizarrely impressive.

It's the sugar lamb, a Polish Easter Tradition.


In person, the lamb is about 8 inches tall and the base is about 12 inches long. It definitly makes a statement. The right ear is missing because one of the residents ate it (such a scandal!)

I cannot tell you how much joy this sugar lamb has brought into my life. I took numerous pictures (including close-ups of its ultra-serious lamb face) and it now adorns my computer screen.

In a related work story, there is a report of a lepracon-infested closet at one of the other sites. Like garden gnomes, closet lepracons are more of a nuisence than a threat, but they do create a lot of clutter.
