It would seem that we have exhausted our “Complaints about Spring”.

So, I think it’s time to list the things we like about Spring.

1) Warm weather, with comfortable evenings. Perfect for sitting on one’s porch and enjoying a pleasant pipe.

2) Women have begun to wear shorts again.

3) Cherry blossoms

4) Bar-B-Q

(Quite possibly the greatest thing I like about Spring)

5) “I’m sorry Sugar, I would love to go shopping with you but, I have to mow the lawn.”

Warm + water + sun = girls at the beach. It’s amazing what they pass off as swim suits now days.
Actually don’t really mind the mowing. I love kicking back on the deck with a cold one while the grill is smoking away. Oh yeah, I’m usually smoking away as well.

Pstlpkr... I couldn't agree more, but living up North like I currently do I have one to add. After a long winter there is something special about the sing of the birds in the morning. A cool Sunday morning with a pipe and a strong cup of coffee on the patio with the birds in the trees enjoying the morning sun... now that's peace.

No, we haven't exhausted the complaints. I have a new one, that damned mockingbird just outside my window trying to get himself a girlfriend at first light. The local woodpecker doesn't help my sleep either.

I'm glad Spring is finally here...I hate Winter with every fiber of my being. :evil:
It's going to be so much more comfortable smoking on the back deck now. ::

Have to agree with the weather. Love it being comfortable temperature for a late evening pipe. Also love how here in Vegas it's only April and we can pretty much swim already.

EVERYTHING ! ! !
I love spring. Birds chirping again, things thawing out and coming to life again...just feels like the whole world is waking up after a long sleep. I tend to take to the woods most in spring and fall. love to watch the process of slow dying and steady rebirth. Both are great for photography and pipe smoking. Latakia use increases in the fall and Virginias start to dominate my rotation this time of year. I do love the four seasons as I grew up in Ohio.

when faces called flowers float out of the ground
when faces called flowers float out of the ground

and breathing is wishing and wishing is having-

but keeping is downward and doubting and never

-it's april (yes,april;my darling)it's spring!

yes the pretty birds frolic as spry as can fly

yes the little fish gambol as glad as can be

(yes the mountains are dancing together)

when every leaf opens without any sound

and wishing is having and having is giving-

but keeping is doting and nothing and nonsense

-alive;we're alive,dear:it's(kiss me now)spring!

now the pretty birds hover so she and so he

now the little fish quiver so you and so i

(now the mountains are dancing, the mountains)

when more than was lost has been found has been found

and having is giving and giving is living-

but keeping is darkness and winter and cringing

-it's spring(all our night becomes day)o,it's spring!

all the pretty birds dive to the heart of the sky

all the little fish climb through the mind of the sea

(all the mountains are dancing;are dancing)
E.E. Cummings knew where it was at. Smoked a pipe too!

#2 for sure.
Also, I despise cold weather and just happy when I can walk outside without a coat.

Fog comeing off the creeks and out of the bottoms on cool mornings . Flowers in the fields and the car turning yellow from pollen .
