From Zen to zany, backyards with style and personality
Read more...
For some people, backyards aren’t just backyards anymore.
“We’re seeing everything from Zen retreats for al fresco yoga to whimsical children’s spaces that go way beyond the typical swing set,” says Jennifer Bringle, editor in chief of Casual Living magazine.
More and more, she says, homeowners are putting the same kind of personal stamp on their outdoor areas as they do to the inside of the house, where one trend has been to turn ordinary rooms into gyms, theaters, studios, wine cellars, libraries and more.
While there are many do-it-yourselfers happy to dig, hammer and build on their own out in the yard, a lucky few have the resources to turn to interior designers for a customized look.

Jodie Sweetin and Celia Behar preview parenting podcast ‘Never Thought I’d Say This’
Read more...
Actress Jodie Sweetin was all of five years old when she was introduced to the world in 1987 as Stephanie Tanner for seven seasons of ABC’s “Full House.” The sitcom was rebooted by Netflix as “Fuller House” in 2016 with most of the original cast resuming their roles. A fifth and final season of that series is scheduled to premiere in late 2019.
Sweetin, a mother of two, and her best friend, therapist and life coach Celia Behar (of parenting blog “The Lil Mamas” and also a mom of two) have joined forces for a weekly podcast from Main Event Media and Audioboom.
Each episode of “Never Thought I’d Say This” revolves around a phrase that neither mom thought they would ever speak out loud … before becoming a parent.
The series features several recurring segments, special guests and stories from listeners. New episodes of “Never Thought I’d Say This” can be found each Wednesday from iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and most digital platforms.
Sweetin and Behar tag-teamed for a preview of “Never Thought I’d Say This” during the following freewheeling exchange with The Maine Edge.

Best way to fight climate change? Plant a trillion trees
Read more...
WASHINGTON — The most effective way to fight global warming is to plant lots of trees, a study says. A trillion of them, maybe more.
And there’s enough room, Swiss scientists say. Even with existing cities and farmland, there’s enough space for new trees to cover 3.5 million square miles (9 million square kilometers), they reported in Thursday’s journal Science. That area is roughly the size of the United States.
