April is the fourth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and one of four months with a length of 30 days.
April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern hemisphere and autumn in the Southern hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern hemisphere and vice versa.
The derivation of the Latin name Aprilis is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open," which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of anoixis for spring.

We like April simply because its arrival gets us even closer to summer!
