New Bird at Muddle Manor




Today I received a package in the mail all the way from across the sea. I was the fortunate purchaser of one of Charlotte's hand crocheted pigeons - Number 48 to be exact.


He emerged from his traveling packaging with lots of goodies. Isn't he handsome!







Like all good international travelers, he had his passport handy.



He also brought a chocolate egg in case he needed to bribe anyone. (Since he obviously hadn't needed that, I took possession of it and it is now only a pleasant memory.)








Can you see Bruno lurking around under there? I don't think he's thrilled.





I've decided to name Mr. Pigeon - - - - - Homer.





Homer has already taken a small tour of the back yard. He's smelled the flowers,






sunned himself on the patio,







and discovered that there are large birds held in captivity in the back yard.








Upon closer inspection Homer learns that they are indeed fierce creatures, and he is glad they are safely confined.



Safely back inside in the sewing room, Homer immediately flew up to a shelf at the window.






He and Mr. YoYo Bunny agree that it is well to keep an eye on those prisoners in the back!






Hope you've enjoyed my silliness! Sometimes I just can't resist. :)
Hugs and kisses,

The prisoners in the back part cracked me up. Good Job Homer!

Aww! Homer's a great name for a pigeon! Looks like the poor chap's beak got a bit bent in the post though! Hope Mr.YoYo Bunny keeps him safe from the fierce caged prisoners x

Homers is such a cute name for a pigeon. The artist gave so much atterntion to detail, even a passport came with him too!
