New Squirrel Feeder

This video was emailed to me from my amzing aunt RiverEyes close to a year ago, I think on October 8, 2008. I hope it is just as hilariously entertaining as it was when I first saw it. Enjoy!

One pound deer - he is beautiful! ! ! !

This amazing story was emailed to me by an anonymous friend on October 1, 2009. I hope you enjoy!


This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital after a car killed his mother. Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adult's hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to save his mother.


At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his eyes.

Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said, "Rupert's mother had very severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing, and then he went into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube."




Tucked up: Rupert in an incubator.

Rupert pulls a striking pose for the camera.


Staff members are optimistic that Rupert, now five days old, will make a full recovery. "Deer are very, very tricky, but this one has spirit. He's an extremely feisty little guy and quite pushy," Mr. Stocker said.

Asleep: Rupert takes 40 winks.

'I Hope You Dance'


This was written by an 83-year-old woman to her friend.
*The last line says it all. *
Dear Bertha,
I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting in the yard and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time working.
Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experiences to savor, not to endure.
I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.
I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the first Amaryllis blossom.
I wear my good blazer to the market. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties, but wearing it for clerks in the hardware store and tellers at the bank.
"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now
I'm not sure what others would've done had they known they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted. I think they would have called family members and a few close friends. They might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think they would have gone out for a Chinese dinner or for whatever their favorite food was.
I'm guessing; I'll never know.
It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew my hours were limited. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and parents often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, tell myself that it is special.
Every day, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from God.
If you received this, it is because someone cares for you. If you're too busy to take the few minutes that it takes right now to forward this, would it be the first time you didn't do the little thing that would make a difference in your relationships? I can tell you it certainly won't be the last.
Take a few minutes to send this to a few people you care about, just to let them know that you're thinking of them.
"People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there."

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance

Whale Tale

Compassion and understanding are universal concepts
among all creatures . . .

This is why we should ALWAYS watch the show Whale Wars!
==========
If you read a recent front page story of the SF
Chronicle, you would have read about a female
humpback whale who had become entangled
in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was
weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps
that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She
also had hundreds of yards of line rope
wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso,
a line tugging in her mouth..


A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon
Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed
an environmental group for help.

















Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and
determined that she was so bad off, the only way
to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They
worked for hours with curved knives and
eventually freed her.When she was free, the divers
say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles.













She then came back to each and every diver, one
at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently
around ~ she was thanking them. Some said it
was the most incredibly beautiful experience of
their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said
her eyes were following him the whole time, and
he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love, be so blessed
and fortunate to be surrounded by people who
will help you get untangled from the things that
are binding you.

'HAPPY FALL TO YOU'

From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!!

A woman was asked by a coworker,
'What is it like to be a Christian?'

The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.'
God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and
washes all the dirt off of you.

Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the
yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate,
and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face
and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the
world to see.'

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin. Now
it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins. I liked this
enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.
