  1. Good Morning, Everyone…

    💦CAN’T TAKE MOTHER NATURE FOR PLANTED!💦

    🎶The way you DO the things you DO…🎶 “The Way You Do The Things You Do” – The Temptations 1964  https://tinyurl.com/2nxnvkut

    💦When it comes to Mother Nature, there’s good and then there’s bad,

    Fair weather’s always welcomed…a storm?…Well no one’s glad…

    She FREELY gets to do her thing, yes, USEFUL to a point,

    And yet that double-edged sword? Def gets one’s nose out of joint

    The DEPTH of all her power?…No BYLAW gives her a test…

    But here today when morning breaks? She tries to “DEW” HER BEST…💦

    LAWN time since we’ve seen Mother Nature in one of our puzzles…guess we didn’t know what we were MISTing…

    So…Today, Mother Nature…at her finest…(= BEST)…For with a wave of her wands, WATER you know, we see her bestowing “morning moisture” (=DEW) to the lawn. And with the very leading NATURE of our question, and our quotation marks telling us there’s a play-on-word to be MAde… just as her, we’re EXPERIENCED (= BEST) enough to solve this easy, breezy puzzle and be DAWN in no time at all. Yep…no being WET behind the ears with this one…Our solve?…Mother Nature tries to…”DEW” HER BEST https://tinyurl.com/5kfm5v4t

    Jeff’s💎Gems? A beautiful sunrise. And you can’t help but FAWN over that baby deer with his MOTHER. DOEs warm the heart. And Jeff’s definitely PETAL cute spin on Mother Nature’s skirt, while showing her sporting a daisy earring to match the design on her blouse…But it’s the little bird NESTled upon her hat that PEEPS my interest, to TERN a phrase… He’s definitely ROBIN the scene…Jeff always MAnages to LEAF us smiling…

    So…There you have it Folks…DAWN…Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend who tried his hand at being a weatherman. Things were going well until he unfortunately had an accident, breaking both arms and both legs. That ended it for him…He just had too much trouble working with the FOUR CASTS after that…💦🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 👍🏻Understanding the DEPTH of her responsibility, she was determined to not simply be USEFUL, but to DO HER BEST…and not take a single BYLAW FREELY…👍🏻

    🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️The DEPTH of every BYLAW was truly off the charts,
    And nothing would go FREELY lest each would do their part…
    The chairwoman, not USEFUL…unless she ceased her jest,
    Since so far whispers have it that she fails to DO HER BEST…🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

  3. 🧝🏻‍♀️Mother Nature she calls her own shots,
    Gives us cyclones or weather so hot…
    And no one calls her bluff,
    So it often gets tough…
    To deal with what becomes life’s lot…🧝🏻‍♀️

    👨🏻‍🏫The weather folks they track her path,
    Reporting to us if there’s wrath…
    …That will leave us soaked,
    If storm’s fires are stoked…
    And our plans end up falling way flat…👨🏻‍🏫

    💦But we see she starts out many morns,
    With no reason to make us forlorn…
    Treating kindly the grass,
    With refinement…shows class…
    As with moisture she gently adorns…💦

    🦌…The forests, the meadows the lawns,
    And we see to the does and the fawns?…
    It’s a welcome respite,
    And they’re def happy with…
    The relief it brings them every morn…🦌

    🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️So does Mother Nature try her best?
    Each day on her usual quest?
    The verdict is split,
    Some against and some with…
    Pleasant days…yes..but forget the rest…🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

  5. Ok , I’m a little thirsty on this Thursday ! All the anagrams were there except one BYLAW ! Now the jumble got my brain a little twisted ! I came up with DEW , right away ! Then I got , I thought of the word There , and that threw me off ! So DEW HER BEST was really good ! I just got turned around ! So let’s go Friday ! Angela I liked your song choice ! I’ve always liked it ! Good choice ! And yes , Jeff had some good Gems ! And I hope your friend is able to give the weather report forecast , with his four casts ! Very funny ! Everyone have a nice thirsty-Thursday !!

    • Tks, Jim. The word THERE couldn’t be part of the solve, since it doesn’t call for a five letter word. 💦🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. After a stunning start to the new year, I had to struggle a wee bit on the second day of 2025. Oh yes, DEW was a given, but couldn’t finish a blind solve….so tackled the anagrams. FREELY was a toughie, so looked at the letters I already had, plus all the letters to FREELY…and I finally solved the puzzle. Since I used E-R-E, that finally gave me the answer to FREELY. Whew !! Thanks for pointing out the finer points of the cartoon, and your wonderful 4-CASTS joke. Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday, Angela. Terry

  7. Easy blind solve today with the quotation marks and the morning moisture clue in the cartoon. Thanks for pointing out the bird on Mother Natures hat Angela. I completely missed that. Have a great day ! Thanks, Stan

    • Yes, Stan…DEW sad it all. And that bird in the nest…such a cute touch! 💦🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. This one has a plausible alternative: WET HER BEDS. Both hose water and rain do this. A problem with DEW HER BEST is that dew water is usually not enough to fully water the beds. I actually thought WET HER BEDS was the answer until I found out from this page that DEW HER BEST was intended,.

    • You’re missing the entire wit/pun of the puzzle. MORNING MOISTURE is DEW. Why would the word WET be in quotation marks? 💦🙋🏻‍♀️

  9. Good morning. Enjoyed it today because I had to think a little more to get all the words correct. No blind solve but completed after awhile. Love the temptations Angela and like most I would have missed the bird on her hat if you didn’t point it out. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Gotta love that bird! And I gave you a Shout Out yesterday for your late Father’s birthday …I guess you missed it. Take care. 💦🙋🏻‍♀️

  10. An obvious blind solve of the cartoon for a quick start of the post NYear Jumble! On another note congrats to my OSU Buckeyes on their nice win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl yesterday! Chuck.

  11. I also came up with “Wet her beds.” Perhaps it was because the last anagram reminded me of Bart Simpsons first prank call to Moe. “Is Mr. Freely there?” “First initials, I.P.”

    Oh, well I’ll give myself a pass.

    • Hi, Mateo…Even though the letters might “fit”, you have to take it all into consideration. 1- “Morning Moisture ” is DEW. There’s no denying/getting past that. 2- There are no “beds” visible in the cartoon. It’s an open area, plus the question states LAWNS, and that’s what’s shown, lawn, grass. 3 – The quotation marks. There’s no call for the word WET to be in quotation marks. There’s no pun and/or play on words associated with the word wet. 4- Why would she try to Wet her beds? It really doesn’t make much sense, especially if one looks at the drawing. 5- The word TRIES alludes to one DOING their BEST…which brings us to 6- Her dialogue …”Getting it right” = wanting to DO ONE’S BEST. It seems that everyone’s so determined to solve the puzzle at a glance, ( I personally don’t like/use the phrase “b—-d solve”) that all the key factors are being overlooked. And I’m saying this all here to you, only because you’re the last one to mention the incorrect solve. I’m still under the weather, and I wasn’t up to going into it all earlier…plus I thought I explained it all in my post….Anyway, I think it’s a brilliant solve, witty and perfectly orchestrated…if not at a glance, then once one studies the entire picture. Ok..that’s it…I’m exhausted again! 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

    • Which of course is incorrect. Scroll up and read the comments. 🤦🏻‍♀️

  12. Good choice on The Temptations song, which was frequently done by Jerry Garcia Band. And of course “Morning Dew” (originally by Bonnie Dobson) is one of GD’s greatest hits. So I got it pretty easily.

    Also, Morning Dew was on their first album along with “Cream Puff War” (National.Cream Puff Day). Whether or not that was planned (probably not) I do think these guys are Deadheads…of course I could be wrong!
