The Roman name may come from a word meaning to open, or it may come from Aphrodite, the Greek name for the goddess of love. April was the second month in an early Roman calendar, but it became the fourth when the ancient Romans started using January as the first month. In the Temperate Zone of the Northern Hemisphere, the appearance of the outdoor world usually changes more in April than in any other month of the year. Ice and snow disappear, grass grows green, and leaves appear on bushes and trees. Small animals that hibernate are usually out of their burrows by this time.
Birds fly northward or settle down to raise families.
Butterflies and bees gather nectar from the first flowers. In the Southern Hemisphere, people enjoy mild autumn days. As we look let's remember to look to the Lord for our the direction for our day. I will guide thee with mine eye. Winter is past, Sweet Spring is come at last, is come at last.
