The Middlesex Fells

A couple miles from me there's a big woods full of rocks & a couple of ponds. Went there yesterday & the ice from a storm had coated the shrubs & weeds.

In the past year there we've climbed rocks, picked bluberries & mushrooms, skated, been to the zoo, hiked all over, slid on mud road, & hauled blocks of ice.
When I was a kid we had relatives who owned farms. None of those left.

After things collapse, there'll be more space, but whoevers left will be too cold, tired & hungry to enjoy it.

Name that tune

Toasted oats & shredded wheat,
I have covered you in milk
for you'll soon belong in me,
your box will be back on the shelf.
