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. Heading for another record-high day. 105 is just wrong for May. I did get out to kickboxing yesterday, plan to do so again today. Anyway, that’s all the news I can think of: it’s ridiculously hot.
Something I saw on the Bluesky said that a bunch of MAGAtty school board members got bounced in Texas in an election last night. I hope that is true!
Good morning Meese. Yet another week of rain ahead here in Kingston. :(
Not much PR news today
Yay, you got in!
Good Wednesday morning, Moosekind! It’s still quite soggy in Ash-no-longer-quite-so-burned. We received 1.47 inches of rain yesterday, which does indeed dent, but not eradicate, the 5-inch deficit. Showers and thunderstorms are predicted for the rest of the week.Today’s high will be 75 f. or thereabouts.
I hope my tomatoes are all right. Naturally, I refuse to visit the garden during these downpours. I told the little darlings they’d have to mostly look after themselves and solve their own little problems. I’ll pull the weeds, of course.
Not much news today. Our building is having a morning coffee at 10, so I’d better commit hurry-scurry pretty soon. After that I have a working session with the president of the Board. I also need to send out a couple of emails.
Back at the ranch, we had just decided that our orchid was dead and were going to throw it out, when I discovered a new little leaf growing! Say whut? I’m not much of a one for orchids, and our flat is very cold and dark. However, I trimmed off some dead-looking grey stragglers, watered it, and set it back on the window sill.
Gotta clean up this space, Moosekind, the maid’s coming tomorrow. I did hide my wig away. She’s done her duty.
Wishing a good day to all at the Pond and food and medicine for the Gazans!
It’s 71 heading for 89 and sunny today. Yesterday we generated 20.98 KWHs and the m-t-d at 203 gained a bit more.
I’ve got the house opened up. With a cat staking out the prime territory of the west window by my computer desk/table. As in he got it by pushing out the other 2 cats who were enjoying it. Youngest and biggest, Bobbie’s not exactly a bully – he doesn’t fight although he sometimes plays a little rough – but he uses his larger size and weight to push the others out of whatever territory he wants.
The only good news I know of is that the dog rescuer in Taos County’s fundraiser to fix her truck got met last night. Mostly because the match was up today so Suzanne/Aashirs nani put in the last $300 to meet that match. She shouldn’t have – she’s got a sick cat she’s spending a lot of her Social Security on – but she’s a grownup and if she thinks she can rearrange her spending. . . well, so can I and I sent her a bit. Nowhere near $300 but something. Meanwhile, I need to be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought. {{{Meeses}}}
