Quiet and Quilted

 We have been having a couple of lovely summer days and nights with it still being warm and toasty at 9pm at night.   Mum had dried this quilt in the sun, and folded it up and left it on my bench.  I curled up on it straight away and claimed my spot.  Mum did bring it inside at 10pm.  So I went outside her bedroom window and howled - at midnight, 1am and 3am.  I wanted it to stay outside with me.  Mum knew not to give in - giving in would mean she would have to leave the quilt outside for ever, and I would continue to howl.  I know I am lucky and get the chance to sleep outside in the fresh air and stay outside all night if I want.
