Crystal Ridge in FallAs Vivian practices the piano, I write lyrics. You may listen to the tune for "Alpine Melody" by searching in YouTube.
Alpine Melody
(Tune from "Adult All-in-One Course - Level 1)
Yodels echo, 'tween the hills,
Lea and dale - stream and vale;
Let's go hiking, singing clear,
Alpine melodies.
Morning fog cloaks beast and man,
In embrace - mystery;
Tinkling cow bells pierce the dawn,
Cow herds trudge along.
Deer and vixen scurry past,
To their lairs - there to fast
'Till at noontime to emerge,
Foraging anew.
You and I enjoy this scene,
Stand in awe - calm - serene;
Then we wend our trail once more,
Humming Alpine tunes.

At Crystal Ridge - our 15-acre retreat in the Catskill Mountains - we see scenes that inspire such thoughts. The fog and clear air evoke images of the European Alps.
