Daisy woke up just before first light and looked out the window. It was snowing heavily again. She had hoped that when they left this morning it would be at the very least a gray sunless day instead of the snow. Daisy got dressed and went downstairs to get some breakfast. When she entered the common room she found her uncle was already up and ready for the trip today.
“Good morning, uncle, this is sure to be an interesting day with all of this snow and wind again.” Daisy said. “I was hoping for just another gray sunless day so that our vision would good for a fair distance, but that is not the case.” She continued.
Bullroarer replied, “I know lass, we will just have to make the best of it because we need to get going it we are to get back to the Shire and have anyone to feed.”
Daisy nodded her head and went and sat down to a nice hearty breakfast, which made her think of her mum and dad again. She hoped that they were still doing well. She couldn’t wait to see them again and to never step foot out of the Shire again.
Daisy looked around the common room many of the companions were still sleeping. She wished that someone would come down to join her because she really didn’t really have anything else to say to Bullroarer, besides he was busy with Olo planning a strategy for their trip today.
Daisy heard some noise from the stairs and turned around. Some of the hobbits were coming down to join her for breakfast. Gaddy and Hal were part of the group coming down. Seeing Gaddy made her heart fill up with joy. She stared at him as he approached the table. When he noticed her looking at him, he smiled at her and then blushed from head to toe. She could feel herself blushing also!
Everybody joined her at the table and soon the common room was full of hungry, noisy, and excited hobbits. They were ready for the long road today, but also a little wary of what lay ahead for them.
