| Oh, you have me grinning from ear to ear! So often post-quest stories are all angst, but I'm a firm believer in some humor now and then, and sometimes a good story that's full of it like this one just cheers the heart! Thank you, Shire dweller! No more time...must go read the sequel! Namarie! God bless, Galadriel | |

| This is one of my favorite stories, and I have read it more times than I can remember. I apologize for this late "thank you." The tenderness of this story, of Rosie and Sam towards Frodo, never fails to warm my heart and bring a smile to my face (and often a tear to my eye). All of the hobbits are so perfectly in character, and this story is so wonderfully thought out and written, that I keep coming back to it. This story is a treasure. | |

| I love the tenderness of this scene. You've caught that lovely subtlety to the relationship between Sam and Frodo . . . part friend, part servant. And it is good to see Frodo find some comfort and healing. | |

| You have captured the voices of Sam and Rosie wonderfully - not everyone does Sam well (I think he is toughest of all the hobbits, perhaps the servant thing makes him tough?). I like the idea of healing by gardening (since I garden myself) and it seems very hobbity - the earth and growing things and food is the way to a hobbit's heart. Very nicely done. Author Reply: Thank you! It's wonderful to hear we got their voices right--we worked hard at them--and that gardening as healing makes sense. I thought of Frodo while digging up my own little backyard plot, and the story grew from there. | |
