Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Ponders good afternoon one and all!

Just a little too chilly to be out on my lily pad.

Temperature is in the 60s with gusty winds expected.

Have a great day!

 

[Alaskan]

Full on snow time.....


Makes me think...

Maybe I live in Alaska




I got to brag on my kids a bit last night. That is always fun.

Last night was the Boy Scout court of honor.

Kid 4 earned the best rifle shooting of the troop.

Kid 4 is getting to the wire on getting his Eagle. He still needs to do the paperwork for his Eagle, and finish up a few merit badges. Pant, pant... etc.

Eldest Kid got it with 12 hours to spare... no joke.

But.... having had all the kids go up through the troop... one of the leaders there actually ASKED for an update on the 3 grown kids. (The 3 eldest all earned Eagle.) So... I got to brag and update.

@Alaskan great to have kids that the rest of the world likes too. Well done.
It's a dank, dull and dreary day on my lily pad, but it will not dampen my outlook.

You have every right to brag and update everyone.

Hello, Pond!

I feel like I’m living in some alternate reality. It’s 60 and sunny and I’m listening to Christmas music! I’m certainly not complaining, but this is not how this usually works… If it’s 60, it’s not Christmas music season, and when it is Christmas music season, temperatures in the 60’s are unheard of! (Definitely appreciating the bonus days, though!)

Our temps are going to be hitting 80 on Friday, supposedly. I really don't like winter weather but I hope we get some to control insects and such.

 

[Alaskan]

We are in the high 20s to 30s.


So... normal for this time of year.


Spouse though.... has had concerning blood work.... disturbing.... sounds like maybe kidney damage?

But... way too early to know if this is a "thing" where our entire world will change.... or.... if everything will be just fine.

And yes.. totally due to life-style choices... but.... if there is significant damage...well... that fully takes out all the joy of saying "I told you so".

-sigh-

Good morning, Pond.

Morning Pond, We are very wet on my lily pad.
I had a small stream coming through the door to the garden.
