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, 48 and partly sunny. I think it’s safe to prune the hydrangeas now so we’ll start that annual task today. The plants are still recovering from last winter’s freeze so we need to be careful. Our son is working here this week so a long list of small jobs is being addressed, and Elsa is supervising :) Nice to have a new spout on the downstairs tub so the shower diverter works as it should again.
I have an appointment in March to deal with my dental issues. I wish it were sooner but the oral surgeon I prefer to see is very busy so I’ll wait. Being so sick for so long delayed plans. Fortunately the pain comes and goes so I’ll chew carefully and cope.
I’m going to call the offices of the R Wa Congressional reps re cuts to Medicare today. My opinion won’t matter to them but the call will be on record and I’ll feel like I did something. Best wishes to all.
