Flowers and sunshine greet thousands for 129th Rose Parade

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The roses are ready; the skies will be blue.
Just a few clouds are expected for the 129th annual Rose Parade on New Year’s morning, and temperatures are expected to reach a high of the mid-70s once again in Pasadena.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the street to watch floats decked out with hundreds of thousands of flowers, along with a few show horses, marching bands and celebrities. Millions more will watch on TV.
