Week-long Welcomings from Moosylvania: April 20th

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?

NOTE: The comments page will split off after 20 or so left margin comments with the most recent comments on the current page. 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.

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

    Morning low of 46 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 77. Sunny skies are in the forecast.

    Have a great day, all y’alls!!

  2. Sunday Meese. Two of our initiates are celebrating their first birthdays in the priesthood today – so I’ll be heading there this afternoon.

    Was on the phone with a friend in Dorado, PR yesterday, who was talking about power being restored. While talking – her power went out.

  3. We were supposed to get huge scary storms overnight. We’re getting the teeniest bit of rain now. I set my mint out for water, it probably won’t even get enough. Anyway, tea is steeping and after church I’ll make next week’s dinner (quinoa with vegetables, plain yogurt & mozzarella). Should be a nice day.

  4. Happy Easter Sunday to all who celebrate it! Good morning, Moosekind. It’s 69 F. here in Ashburn, and the sun is trying to come out from behind the clouds but not succeeding very well. It’s going to be windy again.

    Feeling sad because my acting colleague ended up in the ER yesterday with a diagnosis of shingles, and sick because my tummy is acting up again. We’re going to skip the Easter brunch here because I don’t feel like eating. Don’t feel like doing much of anything, actually, but I will get washed and brushed for the day.

    Wishing a good day to all at the Pond.

  5. Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. It’s 64 heading for 69 overcast and raining. Not as dark or as hard as earlier so the PV system is actually on but that’s about it. Yesterday we generated 5.6 KWHs and the m-t-d at 265.48 is not on track and losing ground. The only day this month we’ve been on track was the 1st. April Fool’s Day indeed.

    Between the rain, the decongestant I took last night, and the lack of sleep I’ve had lately I slept almost 10 hours. I’m still a bit groggy. And I’ve given “don’t want to do it” self permission to not vacuum/do Sunday housecleaning chores – even though my “want it done” self isn’t happy. Need to get to my boosting. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
