I started to neglect my garden since I was pregnant as I was really not feeling well during my first trimester. It's been really hot here as well, so almost all the plants died. I feel sorry for them, but I really didn't have...

Lynn Proctor I recently learned that sweet potato leaves are delicious, and are eaten by many Asian cultures. You cook them like any green, leaves and stems, washed well. You can also stir fry them in olive oil with garlic until soft. They can be used like spinach, and can...

Lynn Proctor I have been experimenting this year with two things: deep mulch and sweet potatoes. I learned that sweet potato vines are delicious to eat (leaves, stems) and are like spinach. I have now a few starting to vine in the yard, starting them from organic sweet...

When you grow up with something, it's easy to take things for granted. For example, when I was a little boy, I lived within walking distance of the ocean, with a nice beach, plenty of sand to build sand castles, and waves to...

Lynn Proctor I grew up in San Diego, and never saw the mountains except from a distance. When I was 12, a friend invited me to go to the mountains with them for the day. I did, and it was magical. I don't remember too much about it now, but it was the first time I ever saw...

Well, it seems that we have a long way to go, as the candidates go from state to state, trying to win over voters.
They talk, they fight, they insult one another, then they all go have a beer together. What a show. And the press...

I have a house that is currently rented out. My tenant wants me to replace the sheet vinyl that is there, which has stood the test of time, for sure. It is not in that terrible a condition, but she is paying a high rent (it is...

But perfectionism got the better of me.
It won't get me today.
Sometimes you've just got to force yourself to get started and see what happens.
Many times I end up writing...

A strange thing a strange feeling came over me. I am online and suddenly I had this feeling of being detached. Not from my body or anything. Just being detached from myself somehow. No, it’s not boredom nor is it being tired. I...

Lynn Proctor I think a lot of people feel detached at times. It comes in different forms. I get waves of it sometimes, where I feel that I am not myself. Just an observer along for the ride or something, and feeling that nothing really matters. I'm not sad, not depressed...

Lynn Proctor I have never been a perfectionist about much of anything. I try to do a good job at whatever I do, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, for whatever reason.
More recently, however, I have had a challenge that I find has helped me become better. I...

"It's boring." I hear this from online writers of social sites who think that what others say isn't often very interesting. Can we bring back something that we have lost?
Several years ago, I wrote for one of the first online...

They come in purple, orange, gold and white. Also, red. I am trying to see if I can...
