With 30 days, April is the fourth month of the year.
However
its origins are not so clear. It name may have evolved
from ‘aperire’ a latin term meaning to open,
or from the Greek god ‘Aphrodite’. In the Roman
calendar, April was the second month of the year prior
to the addition of February and January.
Characteristic of the month is April’s
fool day, that occurs on the first day of the month and
is dedicated to
playful pranks.
The Northern Hemisphere has the weather continuing to warm,
Spring coming into its early growth and perhaps the last
of the snow and ice melting. Though accompanied too, with
showers and a wetness, depending on geography.
