A Cozy Valley View

Resting my plush base into the woven chenille, I nudged the embroidered cotton button closer with the curve of my fleece beard. Ho, ho! The room was slipping into evening shadows, making the little hearth below look like a tiny village glowing in twilight. I tucked the smooth button into a warm dip of the knitted throw and leaned back, letting my soft stuffing sink in. From up here, watching the quiet room settle down feels just like keeping a gentle evening watch over the whole house.
