Yesterday morning there was a flurry of snow outside, which in my eyes means that winter is officially upon us. I have been trying to ignore the other signs that have been thrust upon us (drop in temperature, shorter days, etc.), however, yesterday the white landscape was a visual signal that it is now time to snuggle down.
So snuggle down I did. With my pigeons, of course. There’s nothing better than wrapping up and warming yourself with a toasty pigeon on your lap. Georgie is particularly good at it – in fact, she insists on being the first to warm me when I return home from work. If my hands are cold I simply place them under Georgie for a quick warming. 
And once I’m all wrapped up and toasty there’s nothing else to do except knit something. Often Georgie will try to take the needles from me – sometimes she succeeds and shakes it about. Like so:
Georgie on my lap

Relaxed Elmo
Elmo in his nest
Rev- I just love reading about Georgie and Elmo. I experience so many of the same things with my Lovey-Dove and often think perhaps I am just a bit (?) mad for loving him and spoiling him so much… then I read about your clear devotion and affection for your feathered companions and realize- mad, maybe- but I’m in good company! My Lovey bird was IN my crochet work basket again yesterday, cooing happily to the thread and crochet hook and looking quite comfortable even though he was sitting on top of my reading glasses!
Hi Cara, thank you for your comment!
When I started my blog I thought I would get a lot of criticism for being so mad, but actually I’ve only heard from other pigeon people who experience the same things as I do. So it’s wonderful to know you’re not alone! 
Lovey-Dove sounds like such a lovely character. He’s obviously loving being with you!! Have a lovely Christmas!
I agree, it is nice to know that you’re not alone in your pigeon madness.
