Another Moment of your Time  by Larner 508 Review(s)

This is truly beautiful Larner. I am so very glad that you finished it.

You made me smile. There are poppies in my dad's garden and each year I love to take the seed heads and scatter the seeds. My dad is still perplexed how poppies come up in strange places in the garden! I can see myself doing it sometime in the future, (probably with tears,) because of your story but they will be gentle tears!

Author Reply: Thanks so, Harrowcat. I so love poppies, and hope that I can get more planted here. And love that your father wonders how they got scattered as they did throughout your garden. And the thought that now you shall have more pleasure in the scattering of poppy seeds is so delightful! Thank you so!

This is absolutely lovely.

the plant goes back to the earth, and all’s the richer for it havin’ come and gone, all along the way.

This leaves me feeling warm and peaceful.



Author Reply: It is as we OUGHT to feel about the coming event, I think. Thank you so!

Poor Sam and how like Frodo to be concerned about him.

Author Reply: You are so right, Linda. Sam will always be concerned for his Master, and Frodo will always be concerned for Sam, I think. Thank you so very much!

Well done! Very poignant. *sigh*

Author Reply: Thank you so. No matter the good and recognition brought him that day, losing Bilbo's company would be seen as a great cost, I think.

See you this coming weekend, I hope.

Ah, so that's the way it was... I cannot see Frodo assaulting a helpless plant, even a weed, but a spider. That makes a lot of sense.

As for myself, I don't kill spiders out of doors, but if they come into the house, they're fair game. *shudder*

Author Reply: I tend to escort my visiting spiders out the door, or more likely out the nearest window. Heh! But I think that no matter how tolerant Frodo might ever have been of spiders, after the quest he'd not like to see them in hunting mode!

Thanks so! And some kind of mad rabbit was visiting my house last Easter Even....

Aw... At first I thought it might be the first camping place after leaving Bag End. Still burdened by tree roots, all those many leagues later!

*sigh* Alas, poor Frodo!

I'm glad Sam could not even imagine what was to come.

Author Reply: Well, Sam has had the weeks at Rivendell to soften up again, so it's all to do once more once they're on their way toward wherever it is they must go. And not knowing what to expect indeed may have been a kindness in Sam's case.

Well, that was still better than the nights later in Mordor. Luckily he didn't know yet ...

Author Reply: Oh, indeed so, Kitty. And so hope your Easter season is blessed!

Lovely, Larner!

Author Reply: Thank you so, Kitty. I do believe that once healed, Frodo would find joy in all things, even what had been his bitterest memories.

Frodo's words to his sleeping Sam are sweet and sad at the same time, but Sam would want to be nowhere else than where he is now for all his muttering, bless them both.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I so suspect you are right, Antane. Frodo wishes those he loves back in safe, warm, comforting places; but because they love him, they will be by his side as long as they are so allowed.
