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”, Motley Meese! The week begins …
Morning low of 72 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 99. Sunny skies are in the forecast.
Have a great day, all y’alls!!
Good morning. When even Texas news stations are running stories about how to stay safe in the heat, you know it’s really hot. Last night’s music diary was lots of fun, there are so many breakup songs in the world. Today: cooking, church, more cooking. Hope everyone has a good day.
Good Sunday morning Meese.

It’s 73 heading for 90, sunny at the moment, and I just closed up the house. Yesterday we generated 15.24 KWHs and the m-t-d at 114.21 lost a little more ground.
Finished my Sunday housecleaning chores. My back is not happy. At least the tremors are no longer obvious. And it being warm, my hands don’t ache, which is a blessing right there. I expect my son this afternoon with, among other things, a whole pork loin he will cut into chops for me. So I’ll be grilling about a month’s worth of pork chops with the electric/clamshell/George Foreman grill later today. Meanwhile I need to be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good Sunday morning, Moosekind! It’s overcast and muggy today, current temperature 74 F. Yesterday Dearly called General Services to turn on the air conditioning, for Goddess’ sake, so that happened. Now it’s TOO cold. We’ve been opening windows here and there. I’m going to reset the temp. to 78 F.
Had a freaky experience this morning. I went to the garden quite early to cut some parsley for the Great Sunday Breakfast Tease for Dearly. My Early Girl tomatoes had black edges on the lower edges of the plants! WHY? Have we had a little too much rain? I cut them off and disposed of them in the trash can nearby. Annoyingly, the tomato plant I bought by mistake and take no interest in is BOOMING, getting ready to burst out of its cage, with no black leaves, nothing! That’s the Roma tomato. I want nice, medium tomatoes so I can make tomato and lettuce sandwiches, never mind the bacon.
(While we’re on this subject, the chefs here use FAR TOO MUCH meat and too much feta cheese, putting both into dishes where they have no business being.)
Anyway, I came back to the apartment and was plating Dearly’s breakfast when I suddenly saw a THING on one of the parsley stems! I screamed and hastily threw it in the trash can. It was a small green THING with black spots. Who knew that parsley had predators? Anyway, needless to say, Dearly didn’t touch the parsley as usual, and even I didn’t feel like eating it today.
What an exciting life I lead…ha! I’m going to the gym in a minute to row. I’d like to see whether I can get up to 30 minutes. After lunch and nap I need to go out and buy a little dead chicken for dinner.
Wishing a good day to all at the Pond!
