It’s May and it’s warming up — time to work on maintaining your mental health. We feature three articles that help you get into a comfortable zone.

Let’s start with the back yard.”Easy ways to create fast, functional, fun outdoor ‘land-escapes’” suggest using less-expensive interlocking composite decking and complementing your new deck with a pergola. (I might extend this idea with planting a vine to climb on your pergola to add beauty and shade.)

When your deck is complete, take your family on a “trip” to Italy’s Tuscany area by crafting a meal from the recipes provided by, “Tasting Tuscany: A lesson in Italian cuisine.”

And, last but not least, don’t forget to relax in your new backyard escape with your four-legged friends. Pets offer amazing therapy for people under stress or suffering from other health ailments. Take a little gander at “Therapy animals prove ‘man’s best friends’ hold healing power.”
