The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

My favorite is Leatherwood from Tasmania.
My favorite is Sourwood from the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Yep. Sourwood has been my honey since the 70s. Leatherwood is an expensive treat. I love its earthy flavor. It’s too strong for some folks, though.
Uh, excuse me.
I thought I was supposed to post my crypto.

Ha! I didn’t look at the name of the poster. From the subject matter, I thought it was you. Do you want to go tomorrow?
Who is scheduled for Saturday?
Moi.
OK. I’ll take it for this Saturday, (the 3rd) and return to Fridays.
Thank you! I look forward to your posts!
Oh boy!!! It’s Friday?????
I’m embarrassed. Woke up thinking it’s Thursday.
I think Froggy posts on bonus CG today?
I messed up.
I know how you prepare for these and you have a following. Lonesome does the weekends. I apologize profusely. It’s sad getting old.
