It's Not Easy Being Green
That phrase is often associated, at least in my mind, with the famous Muppet - Kermit the Frog. While Kermit may be the most well known, he certainly wasn't the only green muppet associated with the Muppet Show.
According to this character guide green Muppets also extended to Kermit's fellow frogmates Robin, Ms. Appleby, and Norman. There were muppets that were alligators, birds, and turtles. The show also included Lenny the Lizard, and the Gill Brothers - four fish who sang harmony. Besides animal muppets there were food muppets such as an Avocado and Green Grapes.
There are other muppets who might claim that it's not easy to be a muppet never mind green. There was Banananose Maldenado - an Italian muppet with a banana for a nose, Deadear Dick - a pirate with a patch over his ear, Tom, Dick, and Harry - a monster with three heads, and Droop - a depressed long nosed monster.
However, Becca, my color swap partner, made green really easy. She even sent it in a green package.
Inside was so much green goodness as unique as any muppet could be! Green tea lotions, a kaleidoscope, a mint scented pencil, a turtle to grow, a note pad, mints, buttons, cards, a small change purse, and of course, yarn. She sent along Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Farmhouse spun yarn. The Kidsilk will be perfect for all the lace I've been doing.
All this was a wonderful surprise to come home to after a hectic day of work. Thank you so very much, Becca!

:^) I'm tickled to be in the same post as Kermit the Frog - he's my favorite muppet!! I'm glad everything arrived and you liked it!
Wow, all those green things!! How lucky are you??? Very!!! I wish the Muppet Show was back on TV. I loved it!! Once I gave the good spellers 'apogee' as they were doing vocab building and a parent complained about it being obscure, but I was able to point to Grover's use of the word the previous night on the Muppet Show!! Go the Muppets!!!
