Wednesday Watering Hole: Check In & Hangout for the Herd

Tags:

Good morning meese! Happy happy Wednesday!


  PLEASE Do Not Recommend the check-in diary! 

        Recs on the weather jar comment are still welcome.

The common Moose, Alces alces, unlike other members of the deer family, is a solitary animal that doesn’t form herds. Not so its rarer but nearest relative, Alces purplius, the Motley Moose. Though sometimes solitary, the Motley Moose herds in ever shifting groups at the local watering hole to exchange news and just pass the time.

The morning check-in is an open thread and general social hour.

It’s traditional but not obligatory to give us a weather check where you are and let us know what’s new, interesting, challenging or even routine in your life lately. Nothing is particularly obligatory here except:

Always remember the Moose Golden (Purple?) Rule:

Be kind to each other… or else.

What could be simpler than that, right?

    Heading for a blustery 60 degrees this afternoon. A tie down the lawn furniture kind of wind this afternoon, we’re told.

    Is it Friday yet?

    Laughing at the Teleport LOL. Good way to start the day.

    It is 34 degrees here with an expected high of 55 … partly cloudy.

    We made it to the middle of the week!! Woo hoo!!!

    I have a few environmental stories that I have been itching to put up somewhere and the Earth Day diary will be a fine vessel. I am heartbroken about what is happening to Wisconsin. Republicans are simply wreckers. They want to wreck the environment and ruin the things about our state that are wonderful including our spirit of can-do and working together. All for a short term gain of campaign money and jobs that will last for a half a dozen years and then leave us like West Virginia. Why?

    And I want to have a conversation about the oligarchs and how to tell them to back off. After reading a few things I am not sure that we are an oligarchy. I think we could be; I think that there are some in Congress who believe it would be much easier to serve only one master. But I think that many of them care deeply about ordinary people and want our lives to be better. Anyway, not ready to give up. Plus this plays into the “everyone is a corporate shill” meme and we know for a fact that that is dead wrong.

    See all y’all later!

    a few degrees today with lots of wind to stir things up.

    Hope all is well with all of you.

    Diana, did you get to see a doctor abut your vertigo?

    Am about to plunge into the news and coffee, in no particular order.

    It is so warm, I decided against wearing compression socks (& the enclosed shoes that go along with them). Wearing sandals. Because today’s high will be in the upper 80s.

    Eating breakfast & drinking tea, even though my stomach is not thrilled.

    orange version of my diary is up — and thanks for rec’ing it here!

    I met with Jeanne, from Bear Creek Nursery yesterday and we have a tentative plan for my garden. She will come with a crew to prune some plants, edit and move others, remove the dead ones (the March snow was hard on plants) and then we’ll decide how to replant.

    She asked me to work with them re pruning and that was a relief as I really want this to be a collaborative experience. I’m so invested in this garden, I just need help…and to be open to new expertise. She’s busy so nothing will happen for at least two weeks, but when she arrives with her crew the work will be done fast.

    Now that I know the big work will be done I’m excited about focusing on the containers.
