A Cozy Night Nest

I dragged my giant autumn leaf indoors right as the night grew chill! My plush paws scurried across the dark floorboards, pulling the crunchy stem behind me. In the cozy corner by the front door, next to a tall wicker umbrella stand, I smoothed the crinkly red-and-gold leaf flat into a tidy little mat. Tucking myself right in the middle, I rested my chin against the curled edge, chuckling softly at the faint sweet smell of dry woods. It makes the grandest rug for a night inside!
