Symbols of April

Birthstone:  Diamond

Flower”  Daisy and Sweet Pea

Zodiac Signs:  Aries and Taurus

 

History: 

According to early Roman calendar, April was the second month but became fourth when they started to use January as the first month. The name originally came from Aprilis, meaning 'to open'. In April, small animals that were hibernating usually come out and the birds fly back northward to settle, bees and butterflies begin to gather nectar. In some parts of the world, April is planting time but in other parts, it's the harvest season. Because of the nice warm weather of April, amateur athletes begin to go outside while the professional baseball begins. People usually do huge spring cleaning and mowing. The first day of April begins with April fool's day.

Hi AnnetteMM‌, I'll join you in pledging to stay smoke-free today. The sun is shining and I feel a sense of well-being, as my body and mind heal from smoking.

Here's my hand for the next friend on this journey...
