Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.

I have no words.
If you write, I may not be able to respond for a while.
Although we don’t know each other at all, I have read and enjoyed your writing and art for years - not least because of the loving relationship with Piper which was always so evident. I am so very sorry to hear this terribly sad news, I hold you in my heart and hope that with time the many happy memories you have of her will out weigh the grief that I can only imagine you are feeling now. Sending much love and sympathy, Amanda
Oh, Quinn, I'm so very sorry. Piper was such a love and a big part of your life for so very long. I know how you feel having just lost Jingles a month ago after 16 years. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Take care!
We are all so very sorry, knowing well what a great companion Piper was. Please know you are in our prayers for comfort during this most difficult time...and always offering our help.
I'm so sorry to hear about Piper; I have enjoyed reading about her and seeing her in your pictures over the time I have been a reader of your blog. She will be missed. Wishing you peace, Jean Marie
