Harvesting Time For Sam

It's nearly harvest time for Sam. He has to make sure everything is absolutely perfect, which can be a huge pain in the butt.

"It's not a pain, it's most rewardin' when yeh get a few nice taters, and carrots. My tomatoes aren't doin' so well, so figured I should git back to work."

That's exactly what I mean by 'pain in the butt.'

He's been so busy with his plants that he's hardly noticed all the things Merry and Pippin have pickpocketed from his house. And it's no fun watching people stealing when there's no one to go nuts over it. They've taken his spare key, a few of his books, a countless number of buttons, stamps, and quill pens, even his Britney Spears CD, but he's hardly noticed.

I'd join too, but I'd rather not lose my tomato priveledges.

I hope he snaps out of it soon.
