The Age of Industry – that is what Mary Ellen calls kindergarten and this industry was certainly on display in the playground today.

There was a potentially poisonous bug to be investigated in the playhouse, milk crates and logs to be hauled uphill in defiance of gravity and surface friction on the snow, and tree displays to be created on the rock.

There were all kinds of problems to be solved and each one required high level negotiationand team work.

For me all this hard work, problem solving and discovery was a lot of fun to watch.

It certainly provided me with a wonderful respite in a busy day.
