Happy Derby Day!
It isn't the best weather today for the 133rd Derby... pretty rainy and dreary. I went last night to Kroger and saw them making the garland of roses. It is really pretty. Some interesting facts...

• it is made up of 554 roses
• the garland tradition started in 1932, before that it was a horseshoe-shaped arrangement
  
• it takes about 8 hours to complete

Here is a picture I took from last night...
