<![CDATA[<p>"Toy Soldier" is a MilBlogger deployed to Iraq from Kingsport, TN. </p>

<p>There is a lot of impact in his words about the war, government, and all that he's seen and done as a soldier for the United States of America. </p>

<p>Hold onto your hat... it's raw and it's real. A great read.</p>

<p>In his own words:<br />
<blockquote>"If you take offense to what you read here, then you're probably too soft skinned to understand anything concerning armed conflict, the military, or anything that doesn't involve puppy dogs and rainbows."</blockquote><br />

<![CDATA[<p>Alex Garrison is a photographer at heart. </p>

<p>His blog contains mostly photographs, along with a few words to describe the who, what when, where and why. It's a remarkable tribute to East Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains.</p>

<p>From Alex:<br />
<blockquote>"I try to keep the blog up-beat and focus on the great things folks miss if they just stay on the interstates.  I currently have several dozen postings and hundreds of photographs on the site."</blockquote></p>

<p>By the way, he says you are free to use the photographs as long as attribution is made to Alex Garrison. Sweet!</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>"The Rural Writer" shares her interactions with the women of death row and her quest as a writer on this blog.</p>

<p>She writes:<br />
<blockquote>"For the past five years I have written to the women of death row. I am a small town newspaper reporter and freelance writer. Im a mom of 6 and wife of 10 years. I am writing a book about the women of death row and and the truth about women in prison."</blockquote></p>

<p>It looks like this project has been in the works for a number of years. </p>

<p>I have to say, many of the stories are quite interesting... if not bone-chilling. It's very raw. And very real. Her book should be a good one.</p>]]>

<p>Be it trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, gardens, you name it, he's got it covered on this blog. His most popular topics include:<br />

<p>And check out Dave's ever-growing list of "things to do" in the margin of each page. When he crosses an item off the list, he posts a blog entry about it -- including full details of how he completed the project. FUN!</p>

<p>In his own words:<br />
<blockquote>This is a blog where I am documenting my opinions and adventures in Tennessee home gardening! We bought our house in February of 2007 and are slowly bringing the landscape to life. We are in the Middle Tennessee region of the state, south of Nashville in a zone 6b-7 area. </blockquote></p>

<p>This one's a pure joy to read... and learn from!</p>]]>
