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?

To see the older comments, scroll to the bottom of the page (right before “Leave A Reply”) and use the Pages Tool to view previous pages, shown here with 3 pages of comments available and Page 2 circled.

Good “morning”, Motley Meese! The week begins …
Morning low of 66 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 90. Sunny skies are in the forecast.
Have a great day, all y’alls!!
Good morning. Tea is steeping, plants watered. I found some bluebonnets yesterday:

Can one of y’all tell me what I’m doing wrong that my Blue Sky things show up as a link & not the post? I know I’ve had them show up before, can’t think what I’m doing different.
Don’t know, but thanks for the pic of the bluebonnets.
Sunday Meese.

Depending on the widget, it’s either 69 or 75 and going up to 87 today. There’s some cloud cover but it’s white/gray almost fog-like, not heavy and dark. Still cuts the sun of course. Yesterday we generated 19.35 and the m-t-d at 162.45 is still gaining. We shall see what today brings.
Had to go outside just before bedtime and saw the moon as she cleared the trees to the east. Won unexpected just as she seemed to be resting atop the trees to the west. Which aside from being lovely also told me I didn’t have to get up yet. LOL.
Got my Sunday chores done and my hands are not happy. Also got a call from a friend which is why I’m running so late. So I’d best be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good Sunday afternoon, Moosekind! We have blue skies with little puffs of white cloud, sunshine and WIND. At 2 p.m. we have 55 F., won’t get much higher.
There is horrid news back at the ranch: Mr. Coffee died this morning, so NO PROPER COFFEE at breakfast! We dug out the Keurig from Sleepy Hollow, where it has been resting for years. Our first cup was colored water. The second was half-strength and stone cold. The third try resulted in something resembling a cup of coffee. I drank that one. Dearly is too busy with naps and F1 to go out and buy another coffee machine at Target, so we’ll have to do without until he’s ready. I’m still boycotting Target, although I lasted only 10 days with Amazon. 😒
Going for a rest now, as we are meeting a friend at the appalling hour of 4 p.m. for dinner. Y’all behave and play naicely, hear? Prayers for all the people who need rosy red heart-shaped puffs of love and sparkling spirals of healing white light.
Good afternoon, 48and partly sunny in Bellingham. I finally bowed to reality and ordered some Easter and basic drug store stuff from Amazon. So that’s one walking errand off the list. My new walker passed the cobblestones in Fairhaven test yesterday but today I’m just to tired to negotiate parking lots and bigger store so Amazon it is. Oh well, now I can bake some cookies this afternoon and that will be more fun. Best wishes to all.
