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. I’ve been to kickboxing & picked up my groceries. I’m going to cook my mushrooms today because you know how fast they go bad. I’ll probably have my risotto for Thursday done tomorrow, time to let the flavors blend well. Those of you who still go to the orange place, I’m hosting the music diary this evening. 6pm central time. My theme is gratitude.
Good morning, 51 and cloudy in Bellingham today. I should be downstairs doing things but family phone calls have kept me busy and now I need coffee asap. Best wishes to all.
