My daughter’s soccer team was getting beat pretty badly a couple Saturday’s ago. The weather was perfect though, and I started taking more pictures of the scenery than the game. This is from the lower soccer field at Ashland Middle School.
A different angle on the same field and same goal can be seen here.
While waiting to pick up my daughter from Walker Elementary School, the weather and view were too nice to pass up.
Softball season is about to begin. We won the league last year with a record of 15-1. (I wasn’t there for the game we lost so I take no responsibility for it. 
) We had our first practice of the year at the previously mentioned US Cellular. It had been raining much of the day so everything was very green. You can even see some mustard or other yellow flowers on the hill leading up to the Manor. A new portion of the Manor, that is currently under construction, can also be seen in this photo.
I-5 runs between the field and the Manor but no cars happened to be captured in this picture that I can see. The Rogue Valley Manor, by the way, is a retirement living center run by Pacific Retirement Services in Medford, just north of Ashland.
Last weekend we had perfect weather for soccer (and just about anything else). Temperatures were in the low 70s, the brownish-green winter grass turned a bright green, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
This game was Ashland vs. Medford in Medford, 10-year old girls in a competitive league. The outcome? 0 – 0. Don’t you just love those high scoring soccer matches that can end without a victor?
Given that it was a school day, and it had been raining, it isn’t surprising that Ashland’s new ice skating rink sat empty earlier this week. The new rink has taken the place of the old Darex Family Ice Skating Rink generously donated by the town philanthropist. This one is sponsored by Ashland Rotary and was strongly pushed by one of Ashland’s famous residents, Tai Babilonia.
