A view of Ashland

Today was warm and sunny, so I took a walk up the hills on the east side of Ashland. There are some quaint houses once you get past the two or three blocks of commercial/entertainment district on that side of Main St.

Ashland hosts the longest season Shakespeare festival in the world, or so I've been told. There are theatres and workshops all over the place. Downtown Ashland is loaded ith antique shops and all kinds of boutiques selling art, pottery, books, etc. It's an "artsy" kind of town.

Here are some pics of the views and a few of the unique houses I saw on my walk today. It was great to get out and enjoy the sunshine. I can feel the vitamin D working already!

And this is wine country, as evidenced by this recycling box outside one of the homes!

If you feel the need for a rest (maybe it's the wine?), here's a spot someone has created on a corner for passerby to sit and contemplate the spring budding of the trees.

All for now, tomorrow it's crankets and derailleurs.
