Week-long Welcomings from Moosylvania: April 6th

April 5, 2025 JanF Community 13

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?

  1. Good “morning”, Motley Meese! The week begins …

    Morning low of 45 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 72. Sunny skies are in the forecast.

    Have a great day, all y’alls!!

  2. Good morning. It is insanely cold for here — 45 degrees & super windy. That’s February weather. There was great turnout for the Hands Off rally here, the Capitol police estimated 7,000 people! Very proud of Austin.

  4. Good gray Sunday morning, Moosekind! One tires of gray mornings, but that’s a first-world problem. Right now it’s 59 F., and imaginary rain is predicted again for the evening. The imaginary showers stayed imaginary yesterday.

    Lots to do today. We’ve had a large unseemly breakfast and will have a light lunch, so we can go to dinner at the perfectly stupid hour of 4 p.m. At least we should get a seat at that time of day. The upside is that dining early will give us some evening for what I need to do, which is read through the poems my writers have submitted.

    Feeling a bit down about the play. I’ll practice Scene 1 by myself today, trying to nail the tricky bits. Tomorrow I have Drum Circle, so I’ll be pounding away in the afternoon. We’ll have Rehearsal every night this coming week, of course. Two and a half weeks until we open!

    Wishing a good day to all at the Pond, and healing energy to all who are troubled in spirit or in body.

  5. It’s 40 heading for 44 and cloudy again. Yesterday we generated 2 whole KWHs and the m-t-d at 31 is definitely not on track. But the sun comes back tomorrow, along with the temps in the 70s. We shall see what we shall see.

    Early tomorrow morning should be the last freeze of the season. Current normal anyway. That’s 6 weeks ahead of when the last freeze was expected 40 years ago. If I were still gardening, I’d have everything planned already and be impatiently waiting another 2 weeks to put out my tomato plants – “just in case”. (And of course would already have all the green leafys planted and some cut-and-come-again harvested.

    Welp, vacuuming done and breakfast just eaten so I’d best be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}

  6. Good morning, 41 and light clouds. Real rain will start this afternoon so I hope I can finish my outdoor tasks before I get too wet. RonK went to the protest marches yesterday but I stayed home. An old friend who now lives near Yuma, Arizona is in town so we had a lovely visit. So nice to reminisce about our big project drapery sewing days, and to share the reality of aging with arthritis. Our son and Elsa will be here for dinner tonight and after we’ll watch The Wheel of Time. I’m enjoying the tv series and ignoring “but it’s different in the books” critics…..different mediums, same story so no complaints from me. Best wishes to all.
