The House Opposite that lights up at dawn to presage the coming of spring...

The House Opposite that lights up at dawn to presage the coming of spring isn't looking too good right now. Its lesser-known manifestation, the House Opposite That Lights Up at Dawn in October put on a poor showing this year. 

The first couple of days of the phenomenon, it was misty. On the last day, a faint glimmer in the leftmost upper window appeared. On closer examination today, that's the only window remaining in the building. There's a tree growing in front of the window, too, which isn't helping. 

Gone are the blinding glints of yesteryear.

A faint glimmer upper left window of house against a brown hill.
Two days ago, a faint glimmer, upper left.

Red roofed white house against brown hill and trees. Some mist drifting.
Today, misty vista at dawn.

Well, damn. With the HOTLUaDtPtCoS becoming decrepit, you'll have to rely on the banality of a calendar :( I wonder if you could get a story out of this...

Perhaps someone will buy the HOTLUaDtPtCoS and restore its beautiful windows...
