No play in the People's Republic

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the children’s playground in my ‘hood. Then last week I went out on a homework walk and came across a People’s Republic playground with plastic webbing around it.

P.S. The word from gardening friends on the flowers I thought were peonies in yesterday’s post is that they’re actually hydrangeas, and the color of the petals depends on the composition in the soil. Cool—terroir for plants!
