Answer:  HOME SWEET HOME

(I love a good literal pun!  None of today’s clue words were new, but three of the jumbles were.  We’ve definitely had the one for “weasel” before.  I still can’t spell “weasel”.  I always want to make it LE!  The answer letter layout was pretty special.  I don’t think it gave anything away.  I thought the cartoon was fun.  I guess sugar cane is native to the tropics, while sugar beets grow in much of the northern areas.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
