There is a new normal hitting us where we live. It's new but it seems very familiar.
Keep on keeping on? Nothing new to me, just call that "life".
But we've had so much going on... and it ain't all what we've prayed for either... but we've gotten a lot without asking, too.

When I can come in from the garden, have some ice water, rub some wintergreen alcohol on the fresh bug bites, and review this mini-bounty, well, the new phrase of 2011 is "it's not all I want but I'll take it."

I have a lot to be thankful for, such as my hyper-individual unique character that came from challenges and adversities that others never had to face, as well as all those things that came naturally. I don't take much for granted.

When multiple smart people, acting independantly, all use the same phrase, it's likely a valued observation. Specifically, my family has been observed by many to be "unusually happy." Not lucky, not one way or the other. "Unusually happy."

Getting philosophical is like having a strong sense of humor - it's taking the long view.
For every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven.
Been a good day and I'll sleep well tonight. Hope the mosquitoes sleep all night too... Last night this one . . . oh never mind.

These were handed to me with two hands the size and toughness of baseball gloves.
Big, tough, brown, and nice, like summer fun.

“Sorry about the wrinkles,” he said. “They say these are the real ones. Called heirlooms, they’re special, the real ones.”

His field is past Whale Branch between Lobeco and Pocataligo and Tomately. Great place names, eh?

True love, pride - the good kind of pride that is more about pride in work and results, not ego of self.
Healthy hard work, not toil but labor to build, create, make something from nothing.
Cleansing sweat, water, and fresh produce.

These tomatoes don’t grow on trees! You gotta make the ground make em.
The Lord helps those who help themselves
You take one step He’ll take two.

Bigbonton is a blog site, full of fun, interesting and random posts. Here we see some a freaky photo of a raven and even an unusual double growth apple. Blogs are a great opportunity to upload and share information with people across the world about all matter of things. The advantage of having your own blog, is that anything you find interesting can be posted online, without the need to link to anything else on your site. But who first thought of blogs? And how have they progressed?

Most blog entries are uploaded regularly, which maintains the readers interest and keeps the website up to date. Blog posts can range in all types of writing styles, including reviews, news, discussions, graphics and videos. Blogs are interactive, allowing readers to add their comments, much like a forum. These are popular amongst hotel review forums, where potential customers read comments from previous holiday makers and are able to post their own comments. Forums are useful ways of getting advice on gaming sites like http://www.partycasino.com/ or reading tips on the best places to visit while you are on vacation. As you can see, blogs are very vast, which means almost anybody can relate to them.

A blog's most distinguishing factor, is the fact that it is constantly adapting and being updated. Unlike most static websites, blogs are always developing. It is estimated that 156 million people own blogs worldwide. It was back in 1997 when the 'weblog' name was created, however, this was soon shortened to just 'blog' which was used as a noun and a verb by Evan Williams. He used it as a describing word for editing or posting on ones weblog.

Before blogs were official, people used to use online diaries. This is where people kept an ongoing account of their life events, writers of these blogs used to refer to themselves as diarists or journalists. In the late nineties, blogging became more popular, which lead to the arrival of the first hosted blogs which included pages such as blogger.com, which was bought by Google.
