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, 52 and cloudy in Bellingham today. We moved into this old house in 1978 and started the garden we are now tending in the early 1990 so I’ve got a lot of inner programing re the care and keeping of said garden. My inner list sez I should be outdoors right now planting the flower pots, but my reality based list is the one I’m trying to follow. So I’m restlessly resting. Oh well, I’ll eventually adjust. Best wishes to all.
I got my recliner today and it will need some breaking in. The ones in the showroom have been sat on a lot and are a little flatter. But it did work for a partial nap. I am going to need to get something for the base so it does not slide around. I got a swivel and a rocker. I was chuckling at your description of the location of your chair, in the corner of your dining room. Mine is located in a huge room at the front of the house that appears to have been intended to be a formal living room with the other end being a dining room. We had no specific plans for it so now my chair is by the nice double windows off to the side.
Good afternoon, meeses! Tuesday …
It is 90ish and sunny with a light breeze. I had a walk and a little paddle in the pool today. It was a little too cold; tomorrow I will wait about another hour before taking a dip. I am hoping that a morning walk and an afternoon paddle (holding noodles under my arms and using my legs to propel myself) will be a good workout. Afternoon walks are too hot.
There will be a blue moon this month, on the 31st at 1:45am MST, the only blue moon of 2026. I hope to see her in the early morning darkness – night moons are so much more splendiferous.
The “Republicans in disarray” headlines are nice but they rarely result in the electoral outcomes we so desperately need. They always seem to get in line in the end. There is a slimey sexting former sheriff who is running for a House seat in deep red Pinal County as an LDS God First Family Man. He will be elected and no one who voted for him will show a bit of shame. Disgusting people.
I had a very productive work day that I chose to end early. I have some hard May 31st deadlines that I will concentrate on tomorrow.
See all y’all later!
Wednesday Meese. Going up to 87 here. :(
