  1. Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well…
    🐥 MAYBE SHE’S JUST A LITTLE PECKISH? 🐥

    🎶 There ain’t nobody here but US CHICKENS…There ain’t nobody here at all…So calm yourself and stop that fuss, there ain’t nobody here but us….WE CHICKENS TRYIN’ TO SLEEP and you butt in…And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble with your chin”…🎶…”Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” – Louis Jordan (original recording) 1946 https://tinyurl.com/mphbwh6e

    🐥They watch her DRIFT around the farm, safe distance they all keep,
    Henrietta’s on the warpath, having lost some beauty sleep…
    Her attitude is SWAMPY…it’s dark and cold like mud,
    She stomps around the henhouse with a loud, resounding thud…
    Maybe the UNTOLD story is that she wants out of there,
    Communication’s lacking so things aren’t very clear…
    (And here’s where OZONE, for today, remains “up in the air”,
    I couldn’t “hatch” a single thought…so today it’s the spare)…
    The bottom line…The word is out…to ensure there’ll be no feud?
    Stay clear of Henrietta…the girl’s def IN A “FOWL” MOOD…🐥

    If you’re a dedicated, HARD BOILED follower of the Jumble, you’ll recognize today’s solve since it’s hardly akin to a hen’s tooth.. https://tinyurl.com/4udyuej6 It’s been in play a few times before…about a DOZEN or so years ago….and the YOLKS on you if no matter how many times you FRYER, it just got you DOWN….because it doesn’t come to mind and you find yourself PLUME…I mean plumb out of CLUCK.…But FEATHER or not it WINGS a bell, it’s such an EGGScellent play on words, one can’t blame David for CRACKING open that vault and COMBing through the archives to make it part of another SCRAMBLEd word puzzle…

    So…A hen is a FOWL https://tinyurl.com/yc8xkahe . Being grumpy,…E G G…I mean e.g., in a bad mood, https://tinyurl.com/25jbbjz6 is often referred to as being in a FOUL https://tinyurl.com/u7rtmfva mood. And the presence of the quotation marks tells us that there’s some FOWL play going on with our words! … Henrietta… never one to have her SUNNY SIDE UP in the first place, is once again… IN A “FOWL” MOOD…and BACON everyone else pay the price!

    The walking on eggshells”? …An EGGSceptional witticism on Jeff’s part….That poor hen looks SHELL-shocked…And as far as that Rooster waking Henrietta? Let’s get DOWN to brass CRACKS https://tinyurl.com/bdf7d68d here, Folks… I’m sure he’s DAWN that many, many times before…So I’m still going with her just looking to take a BREAK…FAST…She’s bored, she’s FRIED…or maybe she’s just tired of the PECKING order…Who knows …But IMO?… Five will get you HEN… https://tinyurl.com/y5wtcj9n …She’s just ready to FLY THE COOP…

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And OMELET you go now…🐥🙋🏻‍♀️

  3. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Unable to DRIFT off to sleep, he couldn’t help but think about how the news had him IN A FOUL MOOD …between hearing of UNTOLD truths about the OZONE layer and the SWAMPY area so close to his neighborhood…🤦🏻‍♂️

    🙇🏻‍♂️ So many topics on the slate, the OZONE was just one,
    The SWAMPY-like conditions after rain they couldn’t shun…
    From there the conversation took a DRIFT beyond those two…
    And so far what was UNTOLD was still waiting in a queue
    The issues were of deep concern and caused the group to brood…
    ‘Twas easy to see why they all were now IN A FOUL MOOD…🙇🏻‍♂️

  4. 🐥Rumor has it our hen’s in a snit,
    And the others need have some true grit…
    Henrietta’s like weather,
    You ruffle a feather?…
    And more than can chew might be bit…🐥

    😱 She’s strutting around that old coop,
    Sending the other gals for a loop…
    Their distance they keep,
    So as not get in deep…
    And avoid Henrietta’s fell swoop…😱

    😱To some it may seem chicken feed,
    But this hen truly is a bad seed…
    She causes such dread,
    And unrest does she spread…
    The others all forced to take heed…😱

    🐥The henhouse now not so serene,
    With Hennie thinking she’s a queen…
    Not friendly at all,
    She causes a pall…
    She’s grumpy and totally mean…🐥

    ❓The solution is up in the air,
    With such turmoil it just isn’t fair…
    The consensus is one,
    Something has to be done…
    Here’s to hoping solutions appear…❓

  5. No jump to get over this Wednesday ! This is Jim ! All the anagrams were not on the OZONE ! Not one was a DRIFT away ! It wasn’t even a little SWAMPY ! So there , I didn’t want to leave anything UNTOLD ! The jumble did not make me chicken at all ! When I read about a mean hen , the first word that came to me was FOWL ! It did not put me IN AFOWL MOOD ! What a great one ! Not a slightest hump for this Wednesday ! Everyone have a good no hump Wednesday

  6. Pretty easy day in Jumble Land for a successful Hump Day…and a very prolific blog from Angela to read, too. Musically, as a Western Swing fan, have really enjoyed Asleep at the Wheel’s arrangement of “There Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens” !!!….so really enjoyed your very appropriate song choice today. tcapps589

  7. Good morning. No problem with the words or cartoon answer. But it wasn’t a blind solve. Until tomorrow take care.

  8. On a midweek roll, with a blind solve of the cartoon after solving the anagrams and pausing on untold. Wishing Angela a better feeling Wednesday.
    Chuck.

  9. Easy breezy puzzle this morning. Love the dialogue “I’m always walking on eggshells around her”. Too funny. Happy Wednesday all! Betty
