rabidsamfanGathering and Sharing
It will be a hungry winter for all that we’ve found most of the crops the ruffians stashed away. Befouled, some of it, and too little set aside for planting; we’ll have not a scrap to spare come Spring. A good winter to sit by the fireside and be thankful that there’s wood a-plenty, the gaffers say. Warmth is half of hunger satisfied.
We have to convince each village that the rationing is fair, and I’m glad that Freddy Bolger wanted to ride with us. We let him do the talking. Pippin and I look too well-fed to be trusted.

How well you balance laughter and sorrow! The thought of a bone-thin "Fatty" Bolger and two more than healthy looking "giants" made me smile, but at the same time it made me sad. This last year must have been a horrible nightmare for the Shire.
I think I told you before how marvelous you write, did I?
