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. Yesterday was interesting. I was walking in with my lunch (taco place near me gives you free queso for your birthday) and I fell — tripped over a box that was next to the recycling instead of inside. Nothing happened to my food, I wasn’t really hurt though my knees are swollen. But I had a hard time getting up. I’ve been avoiding doing things on the floor because this has happened before, but wow. I got over to the couch & crawled up it. Sigh. Went to kickboxing in the afternoon to get some blood circulating and just to tell myself that I can do stuff. So I’m hoping that today is better.
{{{anotherdemocrat}}} Yikes! & lots of Healing Energy. Moar {{{HUGS}}}
So sorry that happened! Hope you recover swiftly!
Wednesday Meese. Still cold here in Kingston. Staying inside
Will not be around on Friday – will be in CT all day
Wow, Sis! Uh, don’t freeze to death on the way there and back! ;)
It’s 30 heading for 49 and off-and-on sunny. We are definitely going “into the light” – yesterday we generated 9.25 KWHs. The m-t-d at 69.4 isn’t on track but it gained a bit more. We shall see what today brings.
Yesterday my son came by with the replacement igniter and fixed my oven. The part was right but the “plug” was wrong, so he spliced the old plug onto the new igniter. It works fine. I baked molasses spice walnut bread in the afternoon and it came out just fine. If it’s thawed yet, I’ll bake the pork roast this afternoon. If not I’ll do it tomorrow (or whenever it does finish thawing in the fridge). I’ll definitely go to the Co-op (for supplements) & the grocery store today. Meanwhile, off to start my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
You’re going to be busy, bfitz! Well, all that activity will keep you out of the pool halls! Myself, I haven’t entered a pool hall since 1936.
Good gorgeous Wednesday morning, Moosekind! Had yet another precious look at the luscious pearl of the Moon hanging in the gray sky when I woke up this morning. We have blue skies, sunlight, and fuh-REEZING temps in Ashburn this morning. I’d love to stay in all day but I can’t.
The carpet cleaners, both polite, soft-spoken young men, have been and gone. I had to wear a mask while they were here. Since I’ve become elderly, certain chemicals seem to bother me. When I was young, I didn’t have that problem.
Received “mah Social” (as my cousin calls it) this morning. Wonder if that will be the last SS money I’ll ever get? With Melon Husk and VerraSlimy controlling the gummint, who knows?
Must run out to Trader Joe’s after I’m washed and brushed. Want to get some daffodils for a dear man who’s recovering from a heart attack. He’s such a sweetie—I miss seeing him in the gym, dreamily listening to music through his earphones while he cycles. Must get everything done today because tomorrow it’s nothing but meetings.
Wishing a good day to all at the Pond!
