“I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar.” — Helen Hayes
(For many people gardening can be like a religious experience. You’re communing with nature, and you can be one with the universe. I used to enjoy the planting of trees and shrubs and flowers. It’s the upkeep that I never enjoyed. Ms. Hayes used to live in a beautiful house, in Nyack, NY, overlooking the Hudson River. She called it Pretty Penny! Be well and do good, friends.) —YUR
Clue/Question: After they combined their businesses, a new company – – –
Answer: EMERGED
(Ooh! A very topical Jumble pun. Maybe not stinky, but definitely noisy. At least in some regions. Yes, this is the year of the 17 year cicadas. There are generally some cicadas – Annuals – every summer, but there are some – Periodical Cicadas – that come about every 13 or 17 years. This year’s species are called the Brood X cicadas. The last big cicada episode to hit the northeast United States was the Brood II cicadas in 2013, and they were pretty darn noisy. Reportedly, the Brood X bunch could be even noisier! As of today though they haven’t been heard in the lower Hudson River Valley region. Soon enough, I expect.
There were all old familiar clue words today. Three of the jumbles are coming up as new for me, but we have seen “gdeaa” sometime before. I got them all right away. The answer letter layout was a scant seven letter jumble, but it was adequately cryptic. The final answer emerged rather quickly.
Fun little business merger cartoon. I wonder what kind of business Cicely and Grenada are/were, and how the combined name of CI-CADA will benefit the new company going forward. LOL! As a kid, I always enjoyed finding the dried cicada exoskeletons clinging to tree trunks. Much less freaky than the insects themselves. Very entertaining Friday Jumble! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
