Welcome 2025. Today we’re reviewing Comfort Spring’s most popular, viewed posts for 2024. I had 32 features last year. Most were recipes like Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice, Pumpkin Dip for Fall Holidays, Roasted Eggplant With Lemon Tahini Sauce, Caribbean Chicken Salad, Macerated Fruit with 2 features, and Grilled Pineapple Salsa. There was a few posts in home decor like Christmas Decorating with Dried Orange Slices with features at 3 parties. I love that Advent Acts of Kindness was featured. I spend a lot more time on some special posts, and I’m very happy when people like them. Many thanks to the link party hosts for their support.

Christmas Decorating With Dried Orange Slices
This post was originally published in 2017. I have updated the post with new ideas and photos.
Decorating with fruits and vegetables is an old-fashioned craft I love. Many of us display fresh fruit in season in bowls and centerpieces. It’s December and citrus season is here. Today I’m sharing my love of oranges – not only as a favorite snack, but as a decorating element. It’s great to use for Christmas and even into January for winter decorating.

Driving Around Town
This past week, I drove around Lakeland and over to Plant City, a small town a few miles away. It was a perfect day for a drive. The weather wasn’t too hot, and it’s no longer so humid like summer. I hope you enjoy the photos.
