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?

It’s 31 heading for 50 and sunny at the moment. We generated 7.89 KWHs yesterday and the m-t-d at 9.75 is definitely not on track. But it did gain a smidge.
Saw Herself in the eastern sky just before dark when I went out to fill bird feeders. Saw Her again in the early hours in the western sky out my bedroom windows. And had the blessing of knowing Her light would stream across the foot of my bed as I returned to sleep and She continued Her nightly trek.
Got a few things out to decorate where it can be seen from the street. Saving the real decorating (in the den where I spend most of my waking hours) until Yule when the grandkids will be here to do it. As has been our family Tradition for the last 23 years. Meanwhile I’ve a bunch of boosting to do so I’d best be about it. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good morning, meeses! Wednesday …
It is 46 degrees in Tucson 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 61. Sunny skies with a chance for late afternoon rain. It looks like we won’t hit the 70s again until early next week. The nearly full moon is spectacular. The full moon will be tomorrow at 4:14pm MST and will be another Super Moon. She has been – literally! – beaming down on me for the past few days from over the mountains to the east.
I am going to ignore the news for a few days. There is nothing good there and even the headlines are infuriating! The Arizona Wildcats basketball team has five more pre-conference games before they begin Big XII play, one will be tonight and then they will play regional rival University of New Mexico on Sunday. People are dissing them because they are playing all their pre-conference games at home and none against Power Four teams. Pooh on them! The team is made up of transfers and freshmen and had never played together before, they are all learning the campus and the city of Tucson. They are getting better and winning games which builds confidence. There will be plenty of time to test themselves against the conference. I have never been a fan of teams playing someone who will crush their spirits by beating them 100 to 22. As long as our coaches prepare the players mentally for the conference schedule, I am comfortable with that.
See all y’all later!
Good morning, and raining outside my windows today. I’m going to try to change my morning routine but old patterns do persist. I’ve been staying upstairs for most of the morning and that is good for my old legs but the rest of my life is not getting enough attention. So I’m at my desk computer now and my hope is that spending an hour or so here every morning will result in less desk mess stress.
Pt was good but tiring yesterday so my Christmas prep list is a bit longer. I’m going to bring the Christmas Spode to the kitchen and dining room today….it looks cheerful and I enjoy using it. Best wishes to all.
