It’s pretty quiet at the soccer complex this time of the year, between seasons.

There were several rabbits, some birds, a toad, and (literally) a snake in the grass. But no soccer players or soccer coaches or soccer moms. Just the wildlife and me and distant storm clouds.

As a warning to anyone who might be considering a visit out here: the far end of the bottom bench has become un-welded from the frame so if you sit down on it, down is how you’ll keep going for longer than you might expect. (Want to guess how I know?!)
