Annabelle walked into her kitchen. "How fresh and fine my favorite room is," she declared, humming softly. "And, I especially love the pattern Gillian created for the wallpaper in my eating nook. My favorite - bubbles."

"Let's see now. I need flour, baking powder, sugar and sprinkles," she thought to herself. "Oh yes. There's the vanilla. I remember how the Orchid Whimble Companion, Elspeth the Elfin Dragon, flew such a great distance to request one tiny vanilla orchid plant. As with all of Sasha and Rudi's orchids in The Grasslands, this newest one has multiplied, and now the vanilla harvest is an annual anticipated event. So it seems I will be testing the freshest vanilla ever in my baked goods today." (to be continued from The Working Gardens - Caelumen)
