What's your weather like 2026
A mostly sunny day - opened plenty of windows and the humidity in the house has dropped nicely. It started to cloud over at sunset so not planet-watching friendly unfortunately.

What died on you this winter?
Nothing dead here, although most Heucheras are looking shabby. They are currently on the review list which precedes the departure lounge . The bluebells are back with a vengeance though .
