when these big guys clip-clopped by

The Old Fashioned Christmas parade happened on Saturday, in spite of the rain.

It didn't stop the festivities.

But it did make for lots of umbrellas.

And other sorts of shelter.  It's important to make do, when you have to.

Victor was not deterred by rain overhead or underfoot as he proclaimed "They're COMING!"

Little Miss Red Coat, was also in the "fie on rain" camp and let nothing interfere with her festive look.

There is something very special about this parade. Low tech. Nostalgic.

You could feel the street vibrate when these big guys clip-clopped by.

Chris and I decided that babies and little doggies had the best seats in the house this year.

When the umbrellas went up and stayed up, about 30 minutes into the festivities, I told Chris my eyes had seen a sufficient number of horses.  Which was code for "I'm ready to go".  Which he of course immediately understood.  I like it when my date knows when I am ready for coffee, oatmeal, and a fireplace.
