Lyrics to The Lonely Goatherd :

MARIA
High on a hill
Was a lonely goatherd
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
Loud was the voice
Of the lonely goatherd
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo
Folks in a town
That was quite remote heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
Lusty and clear
From the goatherd’s throat heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo.
Ho-ho-lay-di-oh-de-lay-ho
Ho-ho-lay-di-oh-de-lay
Ho-ho-lay-di-oh-de-lay-oh-lay-di-oh-de-lay-oh-lay
A prince on bridge
Of a castle moat heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
KURT (??)
Men on a road
With a load to tote heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo.
CHILDREN
Men in the midst
Of a troubled dote heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
MARIA
Men drinking beer
With a foam afloat heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo (coughs when Marta blows foam in her face.)
One little girl
In a pale pink coat heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
BRIGITTA
She yodeled back
To the lonely goatherd
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo.
MARIA
Soon her mama
With a gleaming gloat heard
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-lay-hi-hoo
What a duet
For a girl and goatherd
MARIA AND CHILDREN
Ho-de-lay-ho-de-lay
Ho-de-loo.
MARIA
Mmm…
CHILDREN
Mmm…
MARIA
Ho-de-lay-ee
CHILDREN
Ho-de-lay-ee
MARIA
Ho-de-lay-ee-ee
CHILDREN
Ho-de-lay-ee-ee
MARIA
Ho-de-lay-eeee
MARIA AND CHILDREN
(Maria “ho-de-lay”s as the melody, while the children do the same for the harmony)
LOUISA
One little girl
In a pale pink coat heard
MARIA (imitating goat)
Lay-di-oh-di-lay-di-oh-di-lay-oo-oo
LOUISA
She yodeled back
To the lonely goatherd
MARIA
Lay-di-oh-de-lay-di-oh-de-loo
Soon her mama
With a gleaming gloat heard
Lay-di-oh-di-lay-di-oh-di-lay-mm-mm
What a duet
For a girl and goatherd
Lay-di-oh-de-lay-di
Oh-de-loo.
Happy are they
MARIA AND CHILDREN
Lay-di-lo-lay-di-li-oh
Oh-lay-di-lo-lay-di-lay-i-oh
MARIA
Soon the duet
Will become a trio
(Children and Maria alternate “lay-di-lo”-ing)

Birds in view

coming home

welcome winter

so many shared memories of the year 2011

and we will create and store so much more

in coming years.

as I sit here looking forward to one more family get-together

wondering

what part of this new place will amaze them!!

the games, the landscape,

the festive lights, the starry nights.

pumpkin is treat

a ball to roll

for some,

some hide,

some gulp it down,

some like to play with it with mom/dad before eating.

This pumpkin is sure to make them all “vegetarian”

OR carnivores will be herbivore for a DAY at least.

As the New Yorker noted, “the fifty-year birthday of a good children’s book marks a real passage, since it means that the book hasn’t been passed just from parent to child but from parent to child and on to child again.”

prettiest TREE

and the green grass grew all around

 

often ON THE move

 

Google honors the great american artist and inventor Alexander Calder with an interactive Doodle on the homepage.

He, like his art, was often on the move.

Earthlings have Identity

Colors of Identity

Earth celebrates

winds of change-celebrating summer solstice

in Poland with paper lanterns
in sky-aasmaa (आसमान) - aakaash (આકાશ- નભ)

burst of paper lanterns

windward journey

sky enlightened

colors of taste-buds

colors of taste-buds
