I wanted to wish you a 2015 filled with joy, love, and many blessings.
I am a comparative newcomer in the blogging world; Spades, Spatulas, and Spoons will be four months old next week. During that time I have met many wonderful fellow bloggers and readers from around the world. I’d like to thank you for stopping by, for “liking”, sharing, commenting, and following my blog.
I’ve been on sabbatical for the last year and am looking forward to returning to full time work later this month. The blog will continue. I am having a wonderful time writing about my gardening and cooking adventures. And, I love reading your blogs and comments. The world is much smaller, more flavorful, more beautiful, and friendlier than I had imagined.
I thought you might enjoy a few photographs from the last year.
