Morning from all 1289 of us who are thanking YOU this
morning for our breakfast nums !!!
When God looks down and smiles on
Rikki’s Refuge in the morning,
this is what he sees!
Joe mowed that R out in the field, with no aerial help at
all, just right from the ground, no stakes to lay out nothing, just doing the
curves and straights on the tractor. He
wasn’t even sure what it looked like.
He just knew what he wanted to do.
Then one day a skydiver said, what’s over here? I saw this giant R. Then a friend Bill flew over with a friend
in a private plane and saw it, but he didn’t have his camera. Now it’s there on Google !!!!
Is that cool or what ?
WOW Rikki’s really does look like an oasis of safety and
protection out there, doesn’t it ?
Here’s my trivia question for today!
Tell me what the different areas mean to you? The red, the pink, the yellow and the blue?
And what will they mean at 12:12 pm on 12/12/12 ????? This is the most exciting news in years
!!!!!
Every acre of land in our circle of protection gives
hundreds and hundreds, even thousands of animals from bears to little bugs,
protection and the chance live their natural lives ... well naturally !!!!!!
And that’s all cuz life, from the smallest little creature ... to the
biggest one of all ... all deserve kindness and a happy home, cuz that’s the
way the planet is spposed to be !

Hey Rikki’s Elves !!!!
When you’re picking up from the Angel Trees -- snap a pic and send to me
!!!!
Pretty amazing footage of an osprey
My Great Grand Pa has an Osprey who sits on top of the mast
of the sail boat at his house. It sits
there and calls out .... and it sounds like a song bird .... you can hear one here http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Osprey/sounds
I’d have though such a big bird would have a big tough
sounding voice.
