There are several other Jumble blogs, but the ones I checked all started off by listing the answers. In this blog, answers can be either hinted at or masked by burying them in comments. No overt spoilers!
Summer camp was just not being fun. Sleeping in was not allowed, we had to run. We did see tawny deer wander by Tho we couldn't pet them, they were shy.
The canoe trip down the river was disaster! The water whisked us off, and then got faster! We capsized, lost the food that we had laded Sopping wet, the usefulness of tents degraded!
Sleeping bags and pillows all got drowned. We hung them in the sun to drain the down. We couldn't travel back, but had no food. The prospects left us in a morbid mood.
We spent a cold and miserable night. Then no breakfast in the morning's early light. Two more days we rode the river, wet and hungry. Of all summer, those few days -- were most funsies!
I am very irregular in my posting times, so if anyone else wants to post the answers in the comments here -- After Closing Time! -- go ahead with my blessings. Maybe even make a game of it!
Wilbur: The poem was entirely based on the smaller Jumble. I see "useful" from the longer one was used (possibly subconscious phrasing or just coincidence). You found two? I only found the one!

ReplyDeleteWell it took some trying. I found two words in Owen's verses . Then again #4 and #6 would be hard to slip into a poem.
ReplyDeleteMisty, I can't discount the totality of your weeks effort . Certainly not putrid. In fact it's of value as others noted. Nor was it casual.

Just checking in - to see if the link I gave Misty still works.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see that it does!
