Today was "Fat Tuesday" better known as Mardi Gras. Here in my hometown of St. Louis we hold bragging rights to being the host city of the biggest Mardi Gras event in the country -- second only that one party you might have heard of held in New Orleans!
A more appropriate title for my post would have been Fat Treesday because I admittedly did a bait-and-switch marketing ploy to get you to click on my post today to look at trees!
Unfortunately the closest thing I have to beaded necklaces are the colored vines growing on the fat tree trunk in the photo below. Use your imagination!
