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 have a busy day planned, and FedEx added to it by lying to me about delivering my repaired watch. Grrr. If they ever tell you that you can electronically sign for your package, don’t believe them. Anyway, hi. Hope your day is full of good things.
It’s already 72 heading for 89, heat index 93, and hazy. It’s supposed to clear off. haven’t a clue what my electricity generation is because the inverter can’t communicate without my internet working. It’s hardwired into “the box”. sigh.
I’m in the library coffee shop at the moment because the library doesn’t open until 9 and even with only 6 other people in it the noise reminds me while I’m not using local coffee shops for this. The Summer Reading Program kicks off today and there’s no way I’d have gotten a parking place if I’d waited until the library opened. I’m hoping most of the people and noise will be in the children’s library section. Whether in the coffee shop or the computer lab, I’m going to get as much done as I can with the noise and distractions. At least I can get to Moose, Xitter, Spoutible, and Bluesky here. Discord refuses to load because the library’s wifi “not secure” so I can’t get any of my DMs from basket or Amelia. Although I have email notifications that I have messages from them. Sigh. Anyway, off to start my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}

Good morning, 51 and cloudy outside my windows today. Tooth misery is ongoing…..extraction on Monday, pain meds and antibiotics now. Looks like I’ll be on a soft food diet for a few weeks. Oh well, losing a few lbs will be good for my knees. Best wishes to all.
Good afternoon, meeses! Saturday …
It is 88 and sunny in Tucson.
I realized I hadn’t checked in and thought I had better do so. Today started with fuzziness after a late start to the day and a lot of little projects that looked daunting. I got two things done but nothing consequential. Tomorrow I will finish May and get ready to start June on Monday.
See all y’all later!
