Rose Cat's Rambles

Well, the post I’d planned got a bit long, so I split it (part two will follow). The theme of this year’s parade was “Echoes of Success.”

All of the floats in this parade are required to have all surfaces covered by natural materials, such as flowers, plants, seaweed, seeds, bark, vegetables, or nuts. For more, see the 2014 post Decorating parade floats, at my journal.

Or, taking your cat to see Santa may yield mixed results.
