Answer: HAPPY AS A LARK
(This pun was music to my ears! “Birds singing in the sycamore tree . . . dream a little dream of me!” “Wilt thou be gone? It was the nightingale, and not the lark, that pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear.” Nope! It was the lark, the herald of the morn, no nightingale. Uh oh! I best boogie, before yo daddy catches us! He’ll likely skin me alive. Or, words to that effect. I was never the most serious Shakespeare student.
No new clue words today. Stand down, ralis95! Three of the jumbles were coming up as new for me though. It seems that we have seen “saail” in at least one previous Jumble. The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble. Charmingly cryptic. The final answer might have been difficult for some of our younger players, who might not be familiar with the phrase! I think about a week ago we had HAPPY AS A CLAM as the final answer!
Fine cartoon of a couple of different birds in a tree. The one on the left looks a little like a blue jay. Supposedly there are larks here in the northeast, but I think they like more rural areas. I’ve never seen one in my backyard at least! Beautiful Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

My mom still has bird feeders up in her yard. She’s fascinated with them, even keeps a book 📖 handy to identify the different bird 🐦 species. Honestly I could care less 🤷🏻♂️. I like to hear them chirping at dawn 🌄. My first girlfriend’s name was Dawn. She had the nicest 🍈🍈. Never forget your first love 💗 !
Speaking of old girlfriends, the virgins over there 👉 shot 19 💦 y’day, with 9 from their holy Mary 🙋🏻♀️. She seems to be over her Covid 😷 diagnosis now that we are past day 5. Tks! Stay safe out there! 🤥 There ya have it folks! All better 🤒.
A new study says that most women don’t climax from penetration alone 🍆. Do you hear that guys? The female docs 👩⚕️ say you need to do more! You must also send flowers 🌺 and 🍫. Jewelry 💍 doesn’t hurt either 🙀 💦.
Be kind today guys. Give your ladies a hand. 🖐

OMG Smitty!!!!
Love hearing the birds in the morning and watching them at our feeder. Recently the finches have been all over the place, and the cardinals. LL
We get a lot of blue jays, mourning doves, sparrows, juncos, nuthatches, a few cardinals, a woodpecker, occasional starlings and grackles and a brown-headed cowbird. When it warms up we’ll see some chickadees and tufted titmouses. Love watching the birds! — YUR
