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, meeses! Wednesday …
It is 81 degrees in Tucson 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 100. Sunny skies are in the forecast. I could see the moon high in the western sky on my walk this morning – she is already missing a lot off the bottom. The moon is a constant in the clear blue desert skies and although the dark sky moon is spectacular, she shines down on us during much of the day.
It was not a very good sport day yesterday – the two WNBA teams I watch most closely lost and the Minnesota Lynx decided to take the day off and let the Racist Enabling Indiana Fever win and improve their seeding. That is what happens when we get to this time of year, the teams with nothing left to play for rest their starters and their decisions change the rest of the seedings. The good news is that Dee’s team, the New York Liberty, won and will either host the Phoenix Mercury or visit the Phoenix Mercury for the first round. I will root for “may the best team win” and I suspect that the trajectory will give that edge to the Liberty.
All of my projects ran long yesterday and now I am behind again. I have one thing I absolutely have to do then I am going to shut down for the rest of the day.
See all y’all later!
Good morning, 67 and light clouds. I’m using my cane to clear the cobwebs along the garden paths so the season is officially changing. Bri will be here today so the garden will have some attention. I have kept the watering going but haven’t been able to do much more, but the summer flowers are still blooming and it’s looking inviting regardless.
Fourteen years ago we were on the boat, staying at Roche Harbor when a blood clot changed my life. Thanks everyone for keeping me company as I’ve rested, elevated, and complained about my BCH leg. As always , my best wishes to all.
