Gardener Gardening (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“The glory of gardening:  hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature.”   —   Alfred Austin

(The head in the sun bit is the dangerous part nowadays.  The rays are too intense.  Too much risk for melanoma.  But, other than that, gardening is great.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 08/02/16

Visual Description:  Trying to get above the fray.

LIDUF  =  FLUID,  LOFDO  =  FLOOD,  RODTIR  =  TORRID,  ZHRAAD  =  HAZARD   —   Giving us:  FLUFLOTOIHAR

Clue/Question:  When the politicians went for a balloon ride, the balloon was – – –

Answer:  FULL OF HOT AIR

(Hey!  Very topical.  That’s Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.  Right???  LOL!  They’re probably full of hot air too, but at least they’re not in collusion with each other, like the other guys.  The other guys are hoping that we are completely conditioned to the two party “system”, and we will – once again – vote for the lesser of two evils.  Both of them are employing their versions of scare tactics.  I’m not buying in this time.  I’ll be voting for Jill Stein.

No new clue words, but two of the jumbles are new.  We’ve seen “liduf” and “lofdo” before.  I thought the jumble for “torrid” was pretty good!  The answer letter layout was okie-dokie.  I loved the cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
