Well, I can tell you it's an awfully nice feeling when you've been a fan of someone's work for over twenty years and they say that they're your new fanboy! Thanks, pal. You made me all verklempt.

Thank you, your words give pause for reflection (croaking, the insistence of nature is exactly so)

And damn, I can hear the dandelions roaring and it is another wonderful feat of nature. Really am enjoying your beautiful writing.

I’m ridiculously late reading this, sorry. I got behind on my newsletters and then they piled up and were overwhelming. But I finally got to this and I’m so glad I did. So lovely. Roar away!!

Your imagery is absolutely stunning, your writing complex, and I can certainly relate to chronic illness and to the dandelion.

So beautiful. And painful. I can feel your grief.

"on the boulevard alongside the house, where the neighbours could see..." Isn't that always the way? Lovely piece, as always.

Right? I already feel like I'm the weird person who's always staring at the ground and scratting around!

You roar, Dandelion!! Do you still need a gathering basket? I have two that you can have!

This writing, at once liquid and crisp, makes my Spring-fed heart indescribably happy, like the season itself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

YOU WRITE GOOD. With a capital R! Seriously though. You really know what you're doing. It's stunning.
