| A nice story for the changing of the ages. And good to see you feeling well enough to be back Barbara. | |

| This is lovely, and a fitting marking of your writing anniversary! I've been re-reading 'A New Reckoning' and sequels recently (one of my all time favourites anywhere) and wishing to see more chapters of 'In the Court of the High King'... Meanwhile I love the line about the north wind that 'won't dry wet clothes still in the basket' - it reminds me of my grandmother, who did the washing every Monday come rain or shine! | |

| Just grazing a bit through this collection, and enjoying it. Love seeing Paladin and Esmeralda as small children. Adalgrim is most perceptive, and Wikie most forceful as a Mum. Delightful look at the farm. | |

| Most joyful realization that the great Evil is gone, although the local evil might still linger, if only for a time. And most proper for the moment, considering tomorrow's date. Most appreciated! Three years ago I was sick, in the hospital for 9 days and recuperating with friends for over a month. Know hard it is to return, and know you've been in my prayers. I so rejoice you can still write so well! Welcome, welcome back! | |

| Them!, the terrors of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins and her loathsome son. I, too, mourn the abandonment of the berries! Hopefully berries and waistcoat can be retrieved on the morrow. So good to see you back! | |

| Yaayyy!!! You've written a brand-new story at last! I have so missed your new stories and your additions to your existing WIPs, though I know that our shared work on "An Unexpected Adventure" has made it hard for you to work on other stories for the last few years. Yep, Rosie gave Sam a hard time a little when he returned! Twice, in fact. | |

| Well come, indeed (though my etymology, it appears, may be faulty, and the word I should really want is wilcuma). So glad to hear from you once more. It is so lovely to wrap my hands around a warming, fragrant cup from which the steam is freshly rising, whilst enjoying the company of your hobbits and drinking in the little details that bring your stories to life: dandelion tea... "She won't dry wet clothes still in the basket"... and the field that wasn't growing much because it was for show only. Clever hobbits! Author Reply: Thank you, dear! I'm so glad you like my imagery. Do you ever follow Quora. It's a place where people can ask and answer questions, which I do. I can do it on my phone, though is sometimes takes me half a day or longer, to just type in an answer. But I wasn't told I couldn't use my phone. But stories I can't do on my phone. Mostly I write Tolkien question, though I sometimes answer questions on other subjects. On of them often comes from new writers. I always tell them not to waste time on generalities, but to be specific. Like don't write there's a tree, but there is an oak, or a willow or an apple tree. Don't write there are pretty yellow flowers, but say there were daffodils, or crocus or primroses or dandelions. I learned that from reading Tolkien. I'm trying to get caught up with The Tenth Walker, and see what little Bill is getting up to, but I started from scratch and haven't found where I left off yet. Thank you so much, sweetie! | |

| Welcome back, dear one, and happy anniversary! What a challenging time you've been enduring, but may that clean North wind blow hope and peaceful times back into your life. ♥ Her heart lifted to see blue sky once more, and suddenly she just knew, knew deep in her heart: Sam was coming back to her. What a lovely and uplifting moment for our Rosie. Author Reply: Thank you dear! ((((hugs)))) I always loved that epilogue, but this was the first time it gave me a bunny! | |

| Hi Dreamflower! I was reminded of this ficlet when watching a "Tasting History With Max Miller" video on YouTube, "A Tudor Salad For May Day". I think the hobbits would have approved! Anyway, I really enjoyed re-reading about Merry experiencing his First Salad Day, and I hope he got to enjoy many more! It's a wonderful Hobbiton tradition and makes a lot of sense considering the history of the Fell Winter. I've never yet been foraging but maybe someday! Hope you're doing well! Kaylee | |
