It was a perfect midsummer day in Americas heartland. For a change, the local weather forecast included neither the threat of an afternoon shower nor the prospect of an extended heat wave. In the backyard of my Seville, Indiana, home (located in the central part of the Hoosier state), I was enjoying a second cup of morning coffee. The house, an English-style cottage, was built in the late 1940s by Archibald Kettle, a dedicated Anglophile, who dubbed his creation Kettle Cottage, a name that stuck. Some thirty-plus years ago, my husband, Charles William Hastings, presented me with the keys to the place. I, in turn, presented Charlie with Jean Junior (aka JR), our first and only child.
From the flagstone patio, ensconced in a green-cushioned white wicker chair, I watched as a charm of finches, an immature cardinal, and a pair of white-breasted nuthatches hopped about in the leafy branches of the redbud tree. The yard had never looked better, thanks to the efforts of my husband, a retired investment counselor. And thanks to his devotion to the game of golf, Charlie wasnt there to share the morning, or the moment, with me. Instead, the role of companion fell to Pesty, a pampered six-year-old Keeshond.
