Early Risers

We had plans with cousin Elaine for lunch, and so I quietly shook Annabelle awake at 8:19 this morning. "Want to make cinnamon rolls and pizza dough?" I whispered, and she was up like a spring and filling the kitchen with happy chatter as we we measured, stirred, and kneaded. Then we turned our handiwork into a couple of bowls, covered them with tea towels, and placed them on the back of the stove to rise, while we went to get dressed for the day.

An hour later we punched the airy pillows down, wrapped the pizza dough for later, rolled the buns, and set them back to rise again, before popping them into the oven. And not long after that, we packed up some warm sticky buns and peaches, loaded Lucy in the car and headed over to check out Elaine's new digs.

(Annabelle’s post for today is here.)
