The month of April welcomes 30 days full of new beginnings, blooming flowers, and is vibrant with energy. It is the heart of spring in the Northern Hemisphere while autumn sets in in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Latin word ‘Aprilis’ is thought to have evolved from ‘April’, which could either be connected to Aphrodite who is the Greek goddess of love or the word ‘aperire’ which means ‘to open’ as in nature blooming.
April is a positive month filled with exciting events, outdoor activities, and plenty of fun which makes it cheerful. Happy April to those who want to make the best of the month!
