Just thinking aloud...

Can be felt but not touched: some kind of feeling like fear, hunger, cold, warmth, etc.
Is fed but has no taste: ambition, curiosity, desire, fire?
Your opposites: thumbs (your opposable digits).
Done at the start of the day: wake, rise.
The one in the Ringbearer's place: one of the residents of Bag End, I suppose. Perhaps Sam, who worked there. His deeds... he was a gardener.
So... "Warm fire thumbs awake" -- nah, that's not it. Not a description of gardening, anyway. Sam warming his hands by the fire?
