			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>
<p>So from time to time, I thought I would post something about the special time my son and I had for five years of adventurous living on a sailboat, <b>Tramadol pics</b>.  <b>Cheap Tramadol no rx</b>, In the late 1970s, when Flower Power and Free Love were languishing, <b>Tramadol online cod</b>, <b>Buy Tramadol online cod</b>, I flirted with  trading the equity in my house for equity in a new 37' O’Day sloop-rigged sailboat.

<p>Characters who don’t know much about boats always ask, “How many does she sleep?” That’s the wrong question, <b>order Tramadol from United States pharmacy</b>.  <b>After Tramadol</b>, We sailors usually respond by saying that a sailboat will “drink six, feed four and sleep two.” There may be room enough to sleep an army by spreading people out over decks and into hammocks, <b>japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal</b>, <b>Tramadol class</b>, but you abandon all carnal comforts in doing so.

<p>One summer, I hadn’t gotten paid for about three months, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>.  <b>Online Tramadol without a prescription</b>, The insurance company that reimbursed us for most of our clients was undergoing a major change in their computer system.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>.

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes!

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it.

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Other news articles discuss the donations and work done to <a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/1999/october13/lomabldg-1013.html" target="_blank">renovate the Stanford campus</a> . . .

. . .and how it looked <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/news/2004/october13/Quakes-1013.html" target="_blank">15 years later</a>.

That last link has excellent pictures and history of the quake, including more information about the World Series that had to be cancelled that day. To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>

<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863.

<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . .

<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes!

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />

<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />

<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4191431344_63267cb064_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4191431344_63267cb064_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4191431408_7c106f4abd_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4191431408_7c106f4abd_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a.jpg"/></a></center>
 		
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard.

<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone.

<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern.

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Other news articles discuss the donations and work done to <a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/1999/october13/lomabldg-1013.html" target="_blank">renovate the Stanford campus</a> . . .

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2539/3797684772_9f8dc4b9cc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2539/3797684772_9f8dc4b9cc.jpg"/></a></center>

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a.jpg"/></a></center>
 		
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/4191431436_5f1b7892b3_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/4191431436_5f1b7892b3_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4191431344_63267cb064_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/4191431344_63267cb064_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4191431408_7c106f4abd_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/4191431408_7c106f4abd_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

A hui hou!</em>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p>One summer, I hadn’t gotten paid for about three months, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>.  <b>Online Tramadol without a prescription</b>, The insurance company that reimbursed us for most of our clients was undergoing a major change in their computer system.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.
		<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg34.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg34.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a.jpg"/></a></center>
 		
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863.

<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . .

<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p>One summer, I hadn’t gotten paid for about three months, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>.  <b>Online Tramadol without a prescription</b>, The insurance company that reimbursed us for most of our clients was undergoing a major change in their computer system.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863.

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . .

<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3796864819_710742b18d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3796864819_710742b18d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3796864819_710742b18d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3796864819_710742b18d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Other news articles discuss the donations and work done to <a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/1999/october13/lomabldg-1013.html" target="_blank">renovate the Stanford campus</a> . . .

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
. . .and how it looked <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/news/2004/october13/Quakes-1013.html" target="_blank">15 years later</a>.

That last link has excellent pictures and history of the quake, including more information about the World Series that had to be cancelled that day. To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2539/3797684772_9f8dc4b9cc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2539/3797684772_9f8dc4b9cc.jpg"/></a></center>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>
<p>So from time to time, I thought I would post something about the special time my son and I had for five years of adventurous living on a sailboat, <b>Tramadol pics</b>.  <b>Cheap Tramadol no rx</b>, In the late 1970s, when Flower Power and Free Love were languishing, <b>Tramadol online cod</b>, <b>Buy Tramadol online cod</b>, I flirted with  trading the equity in my house for equity in a new 37' O’Day sloop-rigged sailboat.

Tolkien’s <em>Lord of the Rings</em> Trilogy to which the Elf King and Elf Queen transported Frodo and his friends at a critical point in their adventure, <b>Tramadol without a prescription</b>.  <b>Where can i cheapest Tramadol online</b>, In Tolkien’s story, it was within the Lothlorién that all their healing and protection took place, <b>no prescription Tramadol online</b>, <b>Doses Tramadol work</b>, while all the dangers and threats were forced to remain outside its borders. Our Lothlorién was that haven for us, <b>where can i buy cheapest Tramadol online</b>, <b>Buy Tramadol without prescription</b>, our personal sanctuary of peace, safety, <b>buy generic Tramadol</b>, <b>Fast shipping Tramadol</b>, and healing.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, We needed the storms of life to remain outside.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Characters who don’t know much about boats always ask, “How many does she sleep?” That’s the wrong question, <b>order Tramadol from United States pharmacy</b>.  <b>After Tramadol</b>, We sailors usually respond by saying that a sailboat will “drink six, feed four and sleep two.” There may be room enough to sleep an army by spreading people out over decks and into hammocks, <b>japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal</b>, <b>Tramadol class</b>, but you abandon all carnal comforts in doing so. Naturally, <b>Tramadol dosage</b>, <b>Buy Tramadol from canada</b>, this can depend on just how close you are with the friends you bring along, too, <b>cheap Tramadol no rx</b>. My boat basically was designed to sleep six, but six people really wouldn’t do that if they wanted to remain friends after the cruise was over, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>.  <b>Kjøpe Tramadol på nett, köpa Tramadol online</b>, <center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4383874372_bc454db8cf_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4383874372_a095d35032.jpg"/></a></center></p>
<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>One summer, I hadn’t gotten paid for about three months, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>.  <b>Online Tramadol without a prescription</b>, The insurance company that reimbursed us for most of our clients was undergoing a major change in their computer system. None of us in the clinic where I worked were getting paid on a regular basis, <b>Tramadol overnight</b>. My boys and I were hanging on by a thread.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, So what does a girl do when the going gets tough.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.
		<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg34.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg34.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . .

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>.

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here.

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken.

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes!

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>). 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2502/3838373549_c8f8353218.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 


<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3839187880_6e502dd67c.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/3838389411_f9c1852315.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2481/3633243851_2903d9273a.jpg"/></a></center>
 		
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>.

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here.

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken.

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes!

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, My brother recently posted about the concert he attended in Florida. Because he mentions that it was more about his sister's era (that's me!) I thought I would share it with you.  <b>Epogen pictures</b>, Of course, watching the video clips he chose certainly did bring back a lot of memories. Since many of you don't read my brother's <a href="http://inkwatu.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <b>Epogen from canada</b>, he has given me permission to repost it here.  <b>Epogen no rx</b>, Enjoy!. And let me know if you are in my era, too, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Thanks, Hilton!, <b>my Epogen experience</b>.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071.jpg"><img src="http://inkwatu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMAG0071-300x180.jpg" alt="" title="IMAG0071" width="500" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5281" /></a><br /><strong>Work o' the Weavers at St.  <b>Epogen wiki</b>, Pete Palladium Side Door</strong></center></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br /><br />
A few nights ago, a friend called and said, "We're going to the [Work o' the] Weaver's concert Thursday night at the Palladium, <b>Epogen reviews</b>. I know you like that kind of music.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, Do you want to come, too." I said yes immediately.  <b>Epogen long term</b>, Although I'm not quite old enough to remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers" target="_blank">The Weavers</a> themselves (that's more my sister's generation who lived through all that in California, San Francisco, North Beach, <b>comprar en línea Epogen, comprar Epogen baratos</b>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_i" target="_blank">the hungry i</a>, <b>Where to buy Epogen</b>, etc.), but I <i>am</i> old enough to remember all the groups the Weaver's spawned (The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kingston_Trio" target="_blank">Kingston Trio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter, <b>buy Epogen no prescription</b>,_Paul_and_Mary" target="_blank">Peter, <b>Epogen dangers</b>, Paul, and Mary</a>, and others of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_folk_music_revival" target="_blank">American Folk Music Revival</a>), <b>where can i order Epogen without prescription</b>.</p>
<p>And...I <i>am</i> old enough to remember seeing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" target="_blank">Joseph McCarthy</a> on someone's television (we didn't have one then).  <b>Epogen pics</b>, I mention that because the Weavers and other folk singers of that time, as well the classical composer and American legend, Aaron Copland, <b>online buy Epogen without a prescription</b>, were all hauled before McCarthy's committee and interrogated.  <b>Epogen forum</b>, And, yes, they were definitely left-leaning sympathizers and supporters of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" target="_blank">Henry Wallace</a> for president, <b>Epogen dose</b>.</p>
<p>Thursday night's concert by the contemporary tribute group, Work o' the Weavers (see <a href="http://workotheweavers.com/" target="_blank">workotheweavers.com</a>), was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings I've had in a long time, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. If you ever get a chance to hear the group, <b>Epogen over the counter</b>, go. Their appeal is not limited to folks my age; I saw a number of teens and young adults there who were bobbing and swaying and singing "Good Night Irene" along with us of the blue-rinse set.</p>
<p>My guess is the only demographic group not represented--or if they were there, <b>where can i buy Epogen online</b>, they kept on the down low--were Tea Party members, <b>Ordering Epogen online</b>, because the tradition of the Weavers, which the Work o' the Weavers is all about, is definitely tied to the Progressive movement during the Great Depression and World War II, <b>doses Epogen work</b>. So many of the songs that were sung then, <b>Epogen samples</b>, and last night, are unfortunately still appropriate now during the Great Recession, especially the pro-labor and pro-peace songs, <b>order Epogen no prescription</b>.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, The concert was in two parts. In the first part, <b>Online buying Epogen hcl</b>, every song was woven into a detailed narrative of the history of the (original) Weavers. It really was a <i>complete</i> history of the group, the music, <b>get Epogen</b>, its composers and lyricists, <b>Is Epogen addictive</b>, and the times. It was <i>not</i> just a series of songs by the Weavers. It was educational in a very real sense, <b>buy cheap Epogen</b>.</p>
<p>The second part of the concert followed the dictum of Pete Seeger, who is close to the members of the group and endorses it, to not just look backward, but to sing also what the Weavers would sing <i>now</i> if they still existed today, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. What a wonderful idea.  <b>Epogen dosage</b>, Three songs from that second half were my personal favorites for the night: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M3H0C?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M3H0C" target="_blank">Red Goes the Vine/In Dead Earnest</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M3H0C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M1NOE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M1NOE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M1NOE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015M4T2M?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015M4T2M" target="_blank">My Peace</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015M4T2M" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <b>Epogen coupon</b>. They're all on a CD called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015MC3IE?ie=UTF8&tag=inkwatu-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015MC3IE" target="_blank">We're Still Here</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inkwatu-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0015MC3IE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  <b>Epogen steet value</b>, That's a link to the MP3 "album" which just costs a hair over 1/2 what the actual CD sold at the concert cost.  <b>Epogen For Sale</b>, I recommend it, highly.</p>
<p>The Work o' the Weavers website has plenty of information and videos. Here's one, <b>cheap Epogen</b>, Work o' the Weavers - Distilled, <b>Low dose Epogen</b>, that gives you a good feel for the group.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWPAuVKzvfs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>The lyrics of the aforementioned song, "My Peace, <b>Epogen without a prescription</b>," was written by Woodie Guthrie just after he was hospitalized with Huntington's Disease and set to music by his son, <b>Kjøpe Epogen på nett, köpa Epogen online</b>, Arlo Guthrie. Here it is being sung by the Guthrie Family - My Peace:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4H299gpVEt0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>If you'd like to see some video of the original Weavers, here's The Weavers - Around The World:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_NMBUTNh6I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>Here's a Youtube presentation of them singing the first song the Weavers ever recorded, <b>Epogen used for</b>, The banks of Marble - The Weavers (that's Pete Seeger singing solo on first verse):<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZzTT5fXquTo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p></p>
<p>The words of that song are so appropriate today, <b>Canada, mexico, india</b>, maybe more than ever before.  Here's a more recent recording just by Pete Seeger and with a more meaningful video -- Banks of Marble:<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-o3CJytIPE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p>And...thrown in for good measure and having almost nothing to do with The Weavers or Pete Seeger or The Work o' the Weavers other than it's authentic, old-timey American folk music is this video I stumbled upon while looking up the other videos -- the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs2j8f7H2WY&feature=related" target="_blank">Best Bluegrass Clog Dancing Video Ever Made</a>, <b>Epogen For Sale</b>. Unfortunately, that has to be watched on Youtube, itself and can't be embedded. So, please click on the link. That's old style clogging. I promise you will not be able to hold your body still. I just LOVE that music!!!!.<br />

<p><p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Two years ago, before I started this current blog, I created <a href="http://www.lothlorien-lucy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">another blog</a> that was designed to talk about my life as a sailboat live-aboard. That blog didn’t last long, <b>order Tramadol no prescription</b>, <b>Generic Tramadol</b>, because it was during those few weeks of its existence that I came up with the idea for “Lava to Lilikoi.”</p>

<p>One summer, I hadn’t gotten paid for about three months, <b>Tramadol pharmacy</b>.  <b>Online Tramadol without a prescription</b>, The insurance company that reimbursed us for most of our clients was undergoing a major change in their computer system.

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>We were really living a good life, in spite of having no money. I had a bag of masa, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a few eggs, and stuff like spices. The boys were fishing and diving for abalone. What else do you really need for food, <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>. We had lots of homemade tortillas with melted cheddar and scrambled eggs, along with plenty of fresh fish and abalone. That’s when abalone was still plentiful in California.</p>
<p>Someone taught us how to eat raw abalone. Instead of pounding it like you need to if you cook it, you cut the raw meat into pieces like shoestring potatoes.  <b>Tramadol For Sale</b>, Dip it into a mix of soy sauce, ginger, and anything else your taste buds desired, and munch. It’s a wonderful treat!.</p>

<p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
<p>Once, when folks from our local sail fleet had a cookout, we showed up with fresh <a href="http://www.landbigfish.com/fish/fish.cfm?ID=26" target="_blank">sheepshead</a>, abalone, and hot tortillas. Everyone else was roasting wieners and opening cans of beans. Even though we didn’t have money for hamburgers or wieners, we ate well – and were the envy of everyone else.</p>
<p>When I feel bogged down with Life, I sometimes think about what fun it would be to live on a boat again.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Exactly two months ago on October 17, my oldest granddaughter got married. Kaitlin Weiss became Kaitlin Brazil. I wasn’t able to go, but her Aunt Inga, my second daughter, was there to take pictures of the event.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4191431236_ee1481ff7f_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
This is a good opportunity to share some of that with you. I’ve cropped some of the pictures in order to show you specific people.

Following behind three wonderful older brothers, Kaitlin was a pleasant surprise to her parents. I know how Debbie must have felt to have all four of her children back home for this occasion.

<center><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4191410178_eb4bc792f8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

When Kait was seven years old, she served as the flower girl at my second wedding. That beautiful young woman has come a long way since then.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Almost 35 years ago, as high school sweethearts, her parents got married. What fun it is to watch your children grow up and have grown children of their own.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

California’s central valley has some wonderful places for a serene outdoor wedding.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wish them well! They make a beautiful couple.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3910968207_77f7d352ca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I promise this will be the last post about the Stanford Campus, but there were so many beautiful sights there that I’m afraid I got carried away. For those of you who have never seen the campus, this will be something new. If you haven’t been there in a while, it will be a “remember when.”

Standing 285 feet high, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Tower" target="_blank">Hoover Tower</a> (shown above) dominates the campus. It seems that no matter where you are, the Tower can be seen. President Herbert Hoover started a research center there and this tower is part of that institution.

I kept taking pictures of Hoover Tower, thinking each shot was better than the one before it. Here are only a couple of them for you.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/3912861938_48ef3190f7_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Go <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.html" target="_blank">here </a>to see a great view of the campus from the Tower 

Probably my enjoyment of the Stanford campus stems from my love of old buildings and homes, as well as campuses in general. The Old Fire Truck House (circa 1904) is one of those buildings full of character and still in beautiful condition.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2647/3911715670_15bf15be35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The path in front of the Old Fire Truck House is such a luscious spot for sauntering – or biking.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/3910937075_7af43b95ec.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, there is a “new” fire truck house now, but it lacks the charm of the old one.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3910996603_50edbd71df.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Near the Old Fire Truck House was this sign showing the way to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) Community Resources Center and Women’s Community Center. I was pleased to see both of these.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2661/3911717592_041b604178.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

These maps give you a good idea of the vast area of the campus. The first one shows where Stanford is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3910977203_5065018554.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This map shows the specific area in Palo Alto that is Stanford property.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

If you click on the second map, a larger image will enable you to see the location of the <a href="http://http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">quad area</a> I wrote about a few weeks ago and also where the Hoover Tower stands in relationship to the rest of the campus. 

The campus includes not only the educational buildings, but the beautiful old faculty homes from the early 1950s. I could move right into any one of them with great ease.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3911756598_ceddc9677b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3910927633_5958089a18.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
  	
I especially liked this one that reminds me of a fairyland castle. And I could just imagine sitting around a fireplace, discussing deep subjects with a few students. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3910929513_e55ecf883e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Here is one of <a href="http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/hanna_house01.asp" target="_blank">Frank Lloyd Wright’s creations</a> that now is the property of Stanford. It was the home of the provost until 1989.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/3910993351_c890f66e8e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Because this is mostly a blog about gardening, I couldn’t ignore all the horticultural beauty on the Stanford Campus. Palm Drive is one of the most spectacular roads into the campus that I have ever seen. A long sweep of road lined with palms is truly an amazing sight.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3911745514_d03b1e5679.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Large areas of brilliant poppies and other fresh blooms were everywhere.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3912078903_7611b19c44_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	 
Of course, the outstanding medical facilities of Stanford are well-known. Here is the <a href="http://stanfordhospital.org/clinicsmedServices/medicalServices/imaging/locations/advanced-medicine-cancer-center.html" target="_blank">Stanford Advanced Medicine Center</a>.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3910945591_1b48f93598.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The entrance to the Stanford Hospital and Clinics is sleek and modern. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/3911723272_5eebbaa415.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

In spite of all the glittering modern buildings, in spite of the charming old buildings, Stanford is still a typical college campus. This sight made me feel right at home!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3911753648_356e441c8d.jpg"/></a></center>

<a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/08/a-trip-around-the-stanford-quad/" target="_blank">Two weeks ago</a>, I left you with a tease about a future post on the Stanford sculptures and the photo above. Today I will explain more about these sculptures. I was totally intrigued with them, but I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the entire story behind them. Blogging is so educational!

These six men represent the Burghers of Calais (<em>Les Bourgeois de Calais</em>).

<blockquote>In 1885 the town council of the French city of
Calais commissioned Rodin to produce a
sculpture that would pay tribute to the
burghers of Calais, heroes of the Hundred
Years’ War and symbols of French patriotism.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rodin chooses to portray the moment in the
narrative when the men, believing they are
going to die, leave the city. He shows the
burghers as vulnerable and conflicted, yet
heroic in the face of their likely fate.</blockquote>

(Two excerpts from  <a href="www.metmuseum.org" target="_blank">“THE STORY OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS"</a>)

Most of the time, these men are portrayed in a cluster. Here on the Stanford campus, they are shown in separate bronze castings (1981). These were not from the original, however. By law, only a small number were made from the original after Rodin’s death. Here is a casting of Rodin’s signature.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Calais is an important French port on the English Channel. In 1347, during the Hundred Years’ War, Calais had been under siege for over a year by the English. Due to starvation, King Philip VI of France was not able to hold onto Calais. King Edward III of England said he would “spare the people of the city if any six of its top leaders would surrender themselves to him, presumably to be executed.”

Eustache de Saint-Pierre volunteered to be first. Five others followed.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

They walked out wearing nothing but their “breeches” (underwear) with nooses around their necks. Jean Froissart (circa 1337-1400) wrote the story in his <em>Chroniques</em> that relate historical events of that era as he saw them.



<blockquote>The figure in the final monument portrays Pierre de Wiessant looking over his shoulder, his hand extended as if in despair. His face shows great anguish, and his intense emotions make him appear withdrawn from the other figures.

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote>As we confront Jean d'Aire, we find ourselves focusing on the self-absorbed quality of the figure and gradually, almost without our awareness, we come to realize that we are confronting the unheroic, complex human being that is ourselves. <a href="http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html" target="_blank">http://www2.davidson.edu/academics/acad_depts/art/facilities/jeandaire.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Although Froissart does not mention Andrieu d’Andres in his <em>Chroniques</em>, the name of this man was uncovered  in 1863. The figure is shown “already clutching his head in despair.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Jacques de Wiessant was Pierre’s brother, and the fourth burgher to volunteer. Rodin gives his “his final gesture, the raised arm.” <a href="http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165" target="_blank">http://nga.gov.au/International/Catalogue/Detail.cfm?IRN=115165</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>Rodin assumed Jean de Fiennes to be the youngest of the six burghers. . . . The burgher's expression is very doubting as if he has not quite accepted his seemingly imminent fate. 	<a href="http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html" target="_blank">http://www.cantorfoundation.org/Rodin/Gallery/rvg33.html</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p> 



<blockquote>It was this moment, and this poignant mix of defeat, heroic self-sacrifice, and willingness to face imminent death that Rodin captured in his sculpture, scaled somewhat larger than life. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burghers_of_Calais</a></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Philippa of Hainault, England’s Queen, was expecting a child and she convinced her husband not to execute the men, claiming that “their deaths would be a bad omen for her unborn child.”

A remarkable incident in history – and a stunning set of sculptures for Stanford University, located in Memorial Court at the entrance to the Main Quad and Stanford Memorial Church.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It seems that most large universities, as well as some smaller ones, have a “quad.” When I was a campus minister at University of Arizona, there was a massive quad where students and faculty hung out, played Frisbee, studied, slept, nuzzled with someone special, or whatever else they could find to do.

For an old college instructor like me, being on the quad of any school is thrilling. From the moment I first set foot in a classroom as a teacher, from kindergarten through university, I have loved teaching and being on a campus, being a part of campus life. I think I’d be deliriously happy just hanging out in a university library doing research in musty old tomes.

My visit to Stanford University (guided by a friend who is a Professor Emeritus from the Medical School there) included their quad. He added to my limited knowledge of the campus.

As we approached the main building of the quad, I was drawn to the floral arrangement in the center of the vast lawn. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_52197270ae_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/3797784448_7161b84ebc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It wasn’t until I stood a little elevated and distant from the floral arrangement that I realize the flowers created a large “S” for Stanford. I wondered if everyone else who visits miss it at first like I did.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_1489142387_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3797784512_18f8e47855.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Everything about the Stanford campus has history behind it. A walk along the corridor of the main building takes us back more than a century.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3796860579_1eaeee2507.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the stones on the floor of the corridor commemorated the centennial. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3796949085_09274e8ac0.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Each graduating class added a stone showing the year. This is the first one, laid by the graduating class of <strong>1892</strong>!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3797753496_dce39e1294.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

You can walk along the corridor and see a class for every single year since then. A nice tradition!

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3796940297_87c848e18b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And here is the latest one – for the class of 2009.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/3796943319_7c1f5ba0b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the pillars shows some of the damage done by the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, almost twenty years ago. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/lomaprieta.htm" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Loma_Prieta_earthquake/" target=_blank">here</a>.

To read about damage that is more specific to Stanford, go <a href="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/sepoct/articles/quake.html" target ="_blank">here</a>.  

One dominating attraction on the quad is the Memorial Church

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3423/3797715408_5a2b70f2e9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This chapel was built by Jane Lathrop Stanford in memory of her husband, Leland Stanford in 1899.  

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/3796902361_2258ecc7c9.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

This close-up shows the intricate and exquisite mosaic artwork. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2546/3796905617_249a0b6d35.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Due to regular church services being held, visitors were not permitted to enter, so I took many shots outside. I loved this sign in several languages.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The courtyard of the chapel offers areas to stroll, rest, meditate. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3797727618_60e6945dca.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3797746772_95c59ec2c8.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The jacaranda were in full bloom in the chapel courtyard.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2625/3797706564_c38fdd4bfc.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many tucked away treasures like these side doors of the church.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3797730650_ec64fcf468.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Every detail was considered, as evidenced by this mosaic floor in the foyer of the chapel. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/3797724842_a64962c96d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I have included a slide show below of all photos I took around the chapel, many more than are in this post. Today, I end with a shot of these marvelous sculptures near the chapel. In a few weeks, I will do another post that shows the individual statues and who they represent.

I hope you aren’t sick and tired of seeing photos out of California. Even though I lived there for many years, I had forgotten how brilliant the flowers could be. Part of the time I was there for my May-June visit, I stayed with friends who live in San Mateo. We walked all over their neighborhood and I was stunned by the abundance of beautiful roses. The geraniums are like weeds in California!

Please enjoy the photos! There isn’t much I can add about them, so I’ve put them here in a slide show for you.

I must have gotten to the market on <a href="http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/markets/california.php" target="_blank">California Avenue in Palo Alto</a> too late in the season to see tulips, but there were plenty of other flowers to enjoy! The sweet aroma of huge bunches of sweet peas was almost overpowering. These in the above photo gave my room a wonderful ambience.

Other flowers that were in great abundance were the gerberas, iris, roses, dahlias and so many other spring blooms.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3721431861_4b5881a0c2_o.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Brilliant yellow iris filled buckets everywhere I looked, almost in competition with the various colors of the cauliflower in the background. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3634037094_2f6141dc5d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
Flowers everywhere! Of course, I was so envious of any farmer who had enough good soil to grow this kind of beauty. When I got home, however, I was happy to see so many of my canna, daylilies, and gladiolus bulbs had grown. I’ll show those on next week’s post.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3634011656_54b525fb6e.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many Canterbury Bells in one spot in my life! The color combination of these blossoms with raspberries was like eye candy for the soul.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3328/3634008466_6977016742.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Even though I live in “orchid land,” I still get a thrill at the sight of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalaenopsis" target="_blank">Phaleonopsis </a>(also spelled <a href="http://www.roseofsharonflorist.com/consumer/blooming_plant_phaleonopsis.html " target="_blank">Phalaeonopsis</a>), also often called the moth orchid.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3634005264_f02d421f65.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I was pleased to see a display of eco-pots. Produced by the <a href=" http://www.ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Sweetwater Nursery</a> in Sepastapol, these pots can replace your clay or plastic pots. They are made of substances that are by-products of renewable and sustainable crops. Even when they can no longer be used, the pots are biodegradable.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<a href="http://colecanyonfarm.com" target="_blank">Cole Canyon Farm</a> had so many wonderful varieties of herbs. Please visit their site for information on purchasing and growing not only herbs, but veggies and fruits. I was especially interested in this display of mints. I didn't know there were so many varieties. I want to taste them all!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3634021380_6d529c8c80.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I wanted to bring home one of each of these! I’ve looked all over for seeds for some of these varieties. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633203131_d0844784b5.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these aromatic thymes, mostly because the saying by the famous “anonymous” is so correct! I may start using that as part of my signature on emails. Currently, I use “live gently on the earth,” another philosophy I attempt to adhere to.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3634024366_66f4b9fb0b.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

This basket of basil looks like the profusion of sweet basil I grow in my own garden. I will soon make up a big batch of fresh pesto when I harvest mine. I can’t use up enough of it on a daily basis.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3633180621_938840b477.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

The <a href="http://www.newnatives.com/" target="_blank">New Natives</a> company started out almost thirty years ago with wheatgrass as their original product. Since then, they have branched out into all kinds of healthy sprouts. This crop is experiencing renewed popularity. You can read about some of the health benefits <a href="http://www.soymilkquick.com/benefitofwheatgrassjuice.php" target="_blank">here</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3633187263_8533fa8566.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I need to tell you that there is so much more at this market than just fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. These next few photos come in the “miscellaneous” category, but they are as important as anything else I’ve talked about in these posts.

For example, who couldn’t resist having <a href="http://www.santacruzpastafactory.com/" target="_blank">fresh pasta</a>?
 
<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/3721431887_415ebe6b75_o.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I absolutely adore fresh oysters! Too bad that we have to import our oysters from Washington and the East Coast here. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3634046414_78836fba0e.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

In Hawaii, we have our “huli huli chicken” – an enormous rotisserie along the side of the road that sends delicious smells into your open car window as you drive by. At this California market, I found RoliRoti Chicken. 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3634049728_c5aa6f00a6.jpg"/></a></center>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Of course, no one can go to the Bay Area without eating hot <a href="http://www.sortuv.com/23446-Details-Boulangerie-Bay-Bread-San-Francisco-CA.aspx" target="_blank">sour dough</a> bread.  Pardon me while I drool for a few minutes! 

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3633228409_efce463c69.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

At the end of the rows of produce, there was this musician giving us a background that was totally in keeping with the ambience of the market.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3722004480_724def0a06.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’ll end this series on the California Avenue Farmers’ Market with a scene that is familiar to those who live in the Bay Area, or visit there often. I think most people understand when I say that I both miss it and don’t miss it. In case you want to go back and check out the other two in this series, go <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/07/veggie-farmers-on-california-avenue/" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Next week, I’m going to give you a break from California and show you an update of my garden. Things are beginning to grow again.

In the meantime, you might like to enjoy a slideshow of the California Avenue photos all in one place.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the fruits at the <a href="http://lavalily.com/2009/06/california-avenue-ambrosia/" target="_blank">California Avenue Farmers’ Market</a> in Palo Alto. The fruits and veggies were intermingled with flowers and other products, which I’ll show you next week. This week it’s time for your veggies.

Across the way from <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/joanies-cafe-palo-alto" target="_blank">Joanie’s Café</a> where we ate a fantastic breakfast, there was the “asparagus and potato” stand. That’s the first stand that really caught my attention. When I shop in my local grocery store, I might have a choice of two or three kinds of potatoes, but look at the variety here – with fresh asparagus, no less!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3334/3633271489_65f10d6008_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3334/3633271489_65f10d6008.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I learn so much when I write these posts! I hadn’t noticed the name <a href="http://www.cuesa.org/markets/farmers/farm_93.php" target="_blank">“Zuckerman’s Farms”</a> on the canopy of this stand until I was writing, so I looked it up on Google. This farmer is part of an organization called <a href="http://www.cuesa.org/index.php" target="_blank">CUESA</a>, which means “the <strong>C</strong>enter for <strong>U</strong>rban <strong>E</strong>ducation about <strong>S</strong>ustainable <strong>A</strong>griculture,”  a topic about which I’m extremely interested.

The many varieties of common vegetables we often take for granted were obvious at this market. Of course,  it was all fun and educational to see them, but I have to admit to a degree of envy that people have this at their disposal every week of the year! Check out these colorful cauliflower varieties.

<center><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3634110946_c14a6e5ed1_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3634110946_c14a6e5ed1.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Here is more cauliflower with artichokes and broccoli. . .

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/3634118872_c204914d37_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/3634118872_c204914d37.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

And how about all these fava beans??

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3633306311_a2399664ff_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3633306311_a2399664ff.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

So many beautiful varieties of string beans!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3634108026_fa9164753a_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3634108026_fa9164753a.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I’m not quite sure if sauerkraut qualifies as a vegetable or not, but it’s certainly made out of a veggie – and mighty good stuff it is, too! I grew up in Midwest German neighborhoods eating sauerkraut, spare ribs and mashed potatoes, almost all of it homemade. I absolutely adore sauerkraut whether cold from a jar, or slowly cooked with thick pork ribs. My dad made sauerkraut in our basement, until a batch blew up and ended up all over the ceiling! Needless to say, <a href="http://www.farmhouseculture.com/" target="_blank">this stand</a> caught my attention right away.  

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3403/3633300357_d99bf984c6_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3403/3633300357_d99bf984c6.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 	
Squash is another vegetable I love, so I try to eat as many varieties that I can – both summer and winter squashes. There are amazing displays of fresh-picked squash. Here are at least two <a href="http://www.happyboyfarms.com/" target="_blank">links</a> to information about the <a href="http://www.pcfma.com/FarmBio/HappyBoy.html " target="_blank">Happy Boy Farms</a>. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/3634092650_112fdde115_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3415/3634092650_112fdde115.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
 		
Behind these beautiful squash boxes, you see seedlings ready for people to take home and plant. I was so inspired when I came back home, that I put some seeds in little pots and other seeds I put directly into the ground. Everything is up!

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3633289447_a0990bde0d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3633289447_a0990bde0d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
	
I was surprised to see so many root vegetables. I usually think of them as fall or winter crops, but in a place like California (and actually in Hawaii, too) I think almost anything can be grown at any time of year. That was my experience when I lived in California, and it’s my experience here in Hawaii.

<font size="-1"><b>TURNIP ROOTS AND MORE</b></font></a></center>

<font size="-1"><b>PARSNIPS, GARLIC, RADISHES</b></font></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Sugar snap peas are among my favorite spring/summer veggies. This is a <a href="http://www.manta.com/coms2/dnbcompany_c7gqlv" target="_blank">beautiful display</a> of the basket overflowing with goodness. I have sugar snap peas coming up in my garden right now, which shows just how cool it is here this time of year. That's not how most people think of Hawaii. 

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633280397_bb8c355c99_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3633280397_bb8c355c99.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

What a delight to see so many mushrooms! This is a delicious, low calorie product that can be a special addition to almost any recipe. They also can stand alone on their own. If you haven’t discovered the versatility of mushrooms, just Google mushroom recipes.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3398/3634089684_276691f23d_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3398/3634089684_276691f23d.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

It’s worth making a special trip to California Avenue in Palo Alto on a Sunday morning just to do your week’s grocery shopping. Join others in making this a Sunday tradition. Next week, I'll post flowers and other items available at the market.

<center><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3335/3634177444_bef23da55b_b.jpg" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3335/3634177444_bef23da55b.jpg"/></a></center>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

I apologize to those vendors I don’t mention or for whom I don't provide a link. I looked up all of the names I could read on my photos. Next time I get to this market, I’ll be more diligent in my efforts and ask!

<em>A hui hou!</em>
