Fun — but even better, a distraction from “Which Side Are You On?” over at MGWCC, which is making me crazy.

Thank you, Patrick Berry — a puzzle-making treasure!

Enjoyed the Rows Garden, as always. I was initially stuck - plenty of words for the blooms but nothing for the rows. Then I got a small start on row F, and it all “blossomed” from there.

For anyone who likes Rows Gardens (it is one of my favorite formats!) there are 3 weekly Rows Garden subscriptions out there - and yes, I subscribe to all 3. Highly recommend each of them. They all come out on Tuesdays which makes for a busy day - and all provide varying difficulty levels so can make it as challenging as you wish.

These are always fun! Now back to the vexing MGWCC.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I plan to do this while watching hockey in a little while -- Bruins playing at the (Rose) Garden today.

I found this to be a bit on the easy side for PB. I enjoyed it a lot!

Always a favorite format. Not on the harder side, though the bottom third stymied me for a bit.

💓💖💘❣️ Patrick Berry.
