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?

Your team beat Georgia handily!
Good morning. It got cold! Got the heater set at 68 and even so it keeps kicking on. Got new internet yesterday, trying to figure out all this streaming stuff. So far, I don’t like it. Today: church, some cooking and I’ll get breakfast tacos from a place that’ll give me free queso for my birthday. 62. How’d that happen?
Happy Birthday! 🎶🎶🎉🎂🍨🎁🌹🤗💖🎶🎶
Happy birthday! You could get your Social now.
Happy Birthday, hope your day is fun and relaxing. Enjoy your tasty tacos!
Happy birthday!

It’s 28 heading for 46 and sunny. Yesterday we generated 7.9 KWHs and the m-t-d at 60 is right on track.
I didn’t do much in the way of housekeeping thus far today but I’ve got busy plans for the kitchen this afternoon. Oatmeal pecan cookies and pork veggie soup to be precise. With my son bringing over a pork loin and cutting it into roasts for me in between the 2 cooking sessions. The pecans were a Yuletide gift. They’re too expensive for me – I stick with walnuts which are expensive enough. But such a lovely gift means I can do a GF version of my grandmother’s old WWII cookie recipe. (Pecan trees grow/grew all over the place in TX so the “cost” was gathering them & having the kids shell them.)
Off to start my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Oatmeal cookies, my favorite! Yum, yum. How about faxing me a few?
I certainly would if I could. {{{Diana}}}
Good Sunday morning, Moosekind! ‘Tis clear as a bell and 43 F. in Ashburn right now. Guess what, we received 1.20 inches of rain yesterday! Calloo, callay, O frabjous day! Horrible high winds will begin at 1 p.m. Guess who’s not blinking well going out!
Have another crazy-busy day ahead, but at least I don’t have to spend time with any of the gentleman friends. I have BEAUCOUP chores to do. Also, sometimes I wish I weren’t quite so old. My schedule for Physical Therapy is conflicting with other things I want to do, but I don’t know how to put my calendar on my phone. I’m so old I still use a wall calendar. I wish it had occurred to me to photograph the January grid before I made the PT appointments.
My liberal friends here are still livid about what happened in Minnesota. I turned on the telly and saw that thousands had demonstrated in every state. Can’t we send Indiana Jones to vanquish the loathsome creatures in the White House?
Need to get going on my day. Wishing a good day to all at the Pond!
I will never give up my wall calendar.
I like my wall calendar, I have one in the office with Nat Geo pictures of Ireland; the one at home is Kilted Yoga. Gorgeous Scotsmen doing yoga in kilts. Just risque enough that I can’t use it at work, but not actually naughty.
Good afternoon, 49 and cloudy in Bellingham. I don’t know how a cold germ found me because I’ve been a weary recluse since Christmas, but oh well. I’ve got some good books to read so if I can keep my solitaire and reading around the internet habits controlled I can get lost in book world for a few days. Best wishes to all.
