Hope everybody enjoyed their first full day of winter!
Unable to post on Saturday.
Will try to catch up on a latter day!

I went from my usual box to being a bright light, to a slant
Wordle 917 3/6*

Novice Ambition

Flossie figured out quickly
To ski down an uncut slope
Without uprooting a tree.
She giggled with great hope.

"Young Life"

Flo's dentist told her to floss--
in his field he was her boss.
She agreed without dispute,
she did not want her tooth to uproot.

But she kept her hair uncut,
and liked playing with her mutt,
who made her laugh and giggle
when his little tail he did wiggle.

There were still many things to figure out,
but Flo would do it all, she had no doubt.

Misty- yeah for Flo, who will figure it out no doubt. I matched uproot to trees, while you had teeth to go with the floss (I used it as a name). I loved the mutt with the tail that wiggled. Great imagery.

Great fun today.

We'll look forward to hearing from you on Christmas Eve, tomorrow, Ol' Man Keith.
(Don't forget to wish me a belated Happy Birthday).

You did it, CanadianEh!, worked all four Jumble words and the solution into your delightful verse. That's quite a talent you have: congratulations!

Have a good rest of the day, everybody, and a lovely Sunday tomorrow!

I donโ€™t want to be late! Happy Birthday, Misty.
