A cozy night's sleep

It was dark and foggy when we arrived at the cottage tonight. Sharon, Catherine and I were anxious to spend our first night here. I lit a fire in the big wood stove and in no time the kitchen was warm and cozy. Catherine crawled into her little bed under the stairs, beside the stove. Sharon took the cot in the kitchen and I slept in the first little bedroom. We all read for a short while before drifting off to sleep. It's totally dark out here in the country and the silence is a wonderful change from the city. All I can hear is the rustle of the wind through the leaves outside.
