A fun fact about April (the Fourth Month):

April is known as the fourth month of the year and is associated with spring. The name “April” comes from the Latin word “Aprilis.” And, the Roman authors believed it was connected to the verb “aperire,” which means “to open,” referring to the opening of flower and leaf buds during this season.
