In Chautauqua Square, not your usual street dudes!
Ashland’s Chautauqua Square on the corner of Main and Pioneer was abuzz with a different and refreshing look this afternoon.
A gang of tuxedo’ed young men were rambunctiously and cheerfully hanging out late this afternoon in Chautauqua Square – displacing the usual scruffy panhandling denizens.

While walking by, I complimented them on their “upgraded” look. One apparently felt obligated to panhandle and asked if he could bum a cigarette. They all happily lined up for me to take their photo!
Late Spring in the Chanticleer Inn Bed and Breakfast Garden
A Bed and Breakfast Garden
I love this time of the year in the Chanticleer Inn bed and breakfast garden.
Rhodies in the north part of the bed and breakfast garden
The “rhodies”, dogwood, lupine, Japanese irises, and poppies are all blooming!
Late spring in this bed and breakfast garden doesn’t last long, but it does make lasting memories.

Dear William,

Sue Springer at work on the Ashland Plaza Redesign!
Ashland Plaza Gets Spruced Up with Ceramic Friezes by Sue Springer
Sue Springer on the Ashland Plaza
While walking about downtown, I decided to check out how the new plaza project was progressing. Lucky me! Sue Springer was in the middle of setting the tile into the grout on the side of a bench. One side (not shown) already had all the tile, held up by blue tape and the other side was ready for grout. I told Sue the blue tape was fetching and should consider keeping it there. She agreed. An wonderful artist with a good sense of humor too.
We’re lucky to have her design on the Ashland Plaza.

Bouncing Back, a New Book
I want to recommend a new book “Bouncing Back” by Linda Graham, my friend and dear guest at the Chanticleer Inn!
Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being offers new tools and techniques to help us recover our innate capacities to meet life’s challenges, whether everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters, with calm, clarity, flexibility and courage.
Bouncing Back shows readers how to harness the neuroplasticity of their own brains to strengthen the structures of the brain they need to “bounce back” and not only get through hard times but thrive in their midst.
Bouncing Back
The neuroscience is accessible; the exercises are powerful — a worth while read for all.
Benefit Screening of “42”
Movie Poster of “42″
My friends Janet and Art want to get the word about the movie “42″. So in their words here’s the scoop …
Hi Friends, We hope you can make this event (see below). It’s a benefit screening of the new movie “42” about Jackie Robinson at the Varsity Theater on Monday April 15th at 6pm. “42″ stars Harrison Ford as Dodger’s General Manager Branch Rickey, the MLB executive who first signed Jackie Robinson, played by Chadwick Boseman. The film is written and directed by Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland. There will also be a raffle of Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia and speakers including John Cypher of Hill Street Blues and, of course, popcorn (can’t watch a movie about baseball without it!). Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 541–488-7716. Proceeds will support Havurah Shir Hadash’s “Burn the Mortgage” capital campaign. Please come see a great film and support the Havurah all at the same time. You Brooklyn Dodger fans especially won’t want to miss it!
Spring flowers at Emigrant Lake
Purple-eyed Grass at Emigrant Lake
Stay at a Bed and Breakfast Ashland Oregon, hike the hills and marvel at the spring flowers
The early spring flowers are blooming on the valley floor. They look so delicate and sweet. In reality they are hardy perennials.
Picture here is Purple-eyed Grass. At the Chanticleer Inn Bed and Breakfast in Ashland Oregon, the related Blue-eyed Grass is abound in the south facing flower beds.

Richard III Car Park Jokes
Richard III
How can one resist all the Richard III car park jokes?
My friend and Shakespeare scholar Mike Jensen finds them … I just share them.
This one I related to. I am so glad for the remote key fob, I am forever locating my car via the remote beep.
