Jean and I went to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden on Monday morning. A great chance to see some cactus blooms, birds and of course this little guy, which is a round-tailed squirrel. I thought he looked so cute sampling the produce along the trail.

Keen to add some native diversity to the naturalized land on my property, I gathered a variety of seeds whilst out hiking two days ago. To make it a bit more artistic, I gathered some leaves to add to the mix.

nearly finished! :) i'm proud :')

Indiana University

With plans already underway for the celebration of Indiana University’s Sesquicentennial, in 1966 Benjamin H. Long (A.B. 1926) came forward with an interest in erecting a gateway in memory of his father and mother, Benjamin F. (Trustee from 1915-36) and Lucy Nichols Long who were both IU graduates. But the idea of erecting a portal was initiated by members of the Classes of 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 who established a University “Arch Fund” “for the construction of an arch over the Kirkwood Avenue entrance to the campus.”

Finally in the 1980s when the majority of the opposition to the proposal had quieted, long-time University director of scholarships and financial aid Edson Sample stepped forward to fund the Eggers and Higgins design of the early 1960s in honor of his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr. The final completion of the Sample Gates was in 1987.
