Favorite Posts of 2015
This past fall I have gotten busy with work and haven’t had a chance to post much. Now that it is quiet, I am taking the opportunity to post a few of my favorite posts from this past year. If you want to learn ways you might do a year end post of your own, check out: How to Create an End of Year Post – 2015 Version

I had a lot of fun visiting Sandy Hook with my daughter and her friend. So much history and scenery!

Recipes: Favorites from 2015
I’ve been making Squash Carrot Soup again and again. I also re-posted my Cashew Berry Pudding because happily it is a dessert that my daughter loves (and it’s healthy!).

I am posting this one with the photo of a bird in flight.

In the spring of 2015 I posted about different birds that show up in my backyard: House Finches, Dark-Eyed Junco, Tufted Titmouse, and Cardinal.

What a great idea and the layout is really nice. Oat milk. I had not heard of that before. Happy New Year to you and your family..... Michelle
leoraw says
Michelle, glad you like this end of year post. Regarding oat milk, we have tried other non-dairy milks, and we like oat milk best. However, it is naturally sweet, so it may not be the best choice for someone with diabetes.

I don't always think of this blog as my accomplishments, but maybe I should! Thank you for your kind words. I always enjoy your visits.

A.K. - thanks for telling me which ones you like. The watercolor is my favorite as well. Must make time to do more watercolor in the next year.

I enjoyed reading this post. It was nice to reread the links. Your cardinal posts always get to me...I love them, and all the bird posts. My favorite post was the watercolor of your son...

Thank you for the encouragement on the watercolor! I started a new one. The theme is Purim. I did some sketches.
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
