“Do you think I could use mittens for gloves?” Lady Kitty said, referring to gardening gloves. She’s a keen observer, watching me wearing them lately as I’ve been doing my autumn planting—creating an English border garden.

Lady Kitty then answered her own question. She said, affecting an unconscious British accent, “a bit too warm for late Summer, don’t you agree?” She laughed.

Then she continued with the British accent and followed it up with, “a huge bit too warm,” and laughed again.

A perfect day. Four and a half. A perfect age. I’m so glad I spent it with you.
