    What's your weather like 2026

    Rain overnight (just shy of 3mm), after a couple of dry but cool and breezy days. Forecast brighter this afternoon but it doesn't look very promising at the moment.

    We had not seen a goldfinch in years, so we put out a Niger seed feeder. Now, we have a flock of them and have gone through 20 pounds of Niger seed, and it costs about $2.50 per pound, still it is worth it to have these colorful little critters flitting about. This is a young non-breeding male.

    Field woodruff in my lawn

    Is it not killed by normal weed and feed products? But I would agree in making the lawn less susceptible by improving the conditions for the grass over the weeds.
