It is my father's sixty-fifth birthday. 1952 was the year with the highest recorded incidence of flying saucer sightings in America, so we got him the most alien-looking branch of orchids in the shop. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and I have been designated in charge of the kitchen and are about to embark upon a program of chicken piccata and fettuccine alfredo by request. I leave you with a photograph from earlier this afternoon: Hestia catches up on her reading.
(Will she be too distracted by The New Yorker to pester us about chicken when we get home? Don't quit your day jobs.)

Thank you! It was not the best thing to come home to, but the obvious backstory of Hestia having been so high amended some of the annoyance. The brief tragic reign of Emperor Poopfoot IV was much worse.
