Springtime
Quotes:

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven
All's right with the world!
~Robert Browning

 

 

And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"


 

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens


 

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke


 

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

 


 

Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. ~Quoted by Lewis Grizzard in

Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You

 


 

 

 

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

 

 

Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that

the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer. ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth


 

   

April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go. ~Christopher Morley,

John Mistletoe

 

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden. ~Ruth Stout

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Everyone,
 
I'd like to thank Todd Bannard for being Pipe Maker of the month for January. You can visit Todd's website at:
 
 
 

 

I've been thinking about the crazy weather everyone has had to ender this winter. Here in Phoenix, is no exception. We received snow in January, pretty unheard of for us. So cheer up everyone, spring is right around the corner. Warmer tempatures, flowers, and for some, back to the work shop. As for me,  I've been trying to do some pre-spring cleaning here at Pipe Makers Emporium. See my Spring Cleaning Specials below:

 

Also, to start this wonderful season, we will be giving away a very nice pipe, donated to us by Robert Blatter of Canada.

We will be closed February 21st in observance of President's Day. I will also be on vacation from the 21st through the 28th. Andrea and Julie will be here to assist with all your needs.
