Good Saturday morning everyone!  Another fantastic puzzle today with some challenging clue words to boot.  HIATUS was by far the most difficult word for me to decipher.  It took 5 self-jumbles on my notepad before it finally came into view.  Speaking of view, Jeff’s cartoon really stole the show and delivered a dandy one!  You can almost feel yourself hovering above the tree tops waiting for that magical moment when the sun slowly rises over the horizon to signal the start of a fresh new day.  I really enjoyed how dark the cartoon was and the sun just creeping up casting rays of light was superb.  The final solution came instantly which was fine by me as I could go back to admiring the cartoon just a little longer.  I’ve never been on a hot air balloon, but I did come close.  While on vacation in Florida, my wife and I decided to give it a go.  We booked our sunrise tour but it never took off because the winds were too high and they ended up cancelling the flight.  Maybe we’ll try it again one day, but for now I’ll happily settle with the view in my Jumble cartoon.  Have a wonderful Saturday and I’ll see you tomorrow!  🙂 🌅
