Welcome to The Moose Pond! The Welcomings posts give the Moose, old and new, a place to visit and share words about the weather, life, the world at large and the small parts of Moosylvania that we each inhabit.
Welcomings will be posted at the start of each week (usually Saturday night with a Sunday date). To find the posts, just bookmark this link and Voila! (which is Moose for “I found everyone!!”).
The format is simple: each day, the first moose to arrive on-line will post a comment welcoming the new day and complaining (or bragging!) about their weather. Or mentioning an interesting or thought provoking news item. Or simply checking in.
So … what’s going on in your part of Moosylvania?

Good morning, 39 and raining in Bellingham. Between family drama and T Day prep I’ve been busy and looks like I’ve forgotten to visit the moose pond. Erica and her family have decided it’s best for them to stay home this year and I’m both relieved and feeling sad. They are exhausted with school, work and life pressures so the long drive and the after holiday deadlines are too much. I want them to stay safe but will really miss being together. And Lisa’s dog (Finn) had a seizure on Sunday so his time with us will end soon. They still want to be here so we will have two old dogs, Maggie and Finn, and rowdy Elsa gathered under the table. I’ve worked hard to have more Family photos and items ready to share but that was Sophie’s request so I’ll see what happens with that tomorrow.
With family help I cleaned up my floral “shop” in the garage last week and I was able to do the flowers there yesterday. The electric fire place heater kept me warm, the new stress mats cushioned the concrete floor, and everything I needed was at hand. I haven’t been able to work there since last Feburary so I’m very grateful to be back in my creative space.
I’ve got food to prep and the table to set so best get on with my day. Best wishes to all.
So glad you checked in. I was getting concerned. Have a good Thanksgiving w/ however many of your family can get there. Healing Energy. {{{princesspat}}}
