I feel for you my friend. This winter has been a brute for me as well. Perhaps a house pigeon in your future? Don't be a stranger, we would miss you too much!
No, I dont think a house pigeon would be good here. Dh tolerates the birds I bring in temporarily for what ever reason but he wouldnt want one inside full time. I get it... just not his thing.
I plan to be around if I can, Id miss you all too much too...
