Though it's hard to believe that it's already mid-April (especially with the weather refusing to cheer up!) we thought it would be the perfect time to share some of our surprising April facts. Firstly, if you were born in April (and there always seems to be so many birthdays at this time of year!) then here are some fun facts about your birth month:
- The flower associated with April is the sweetpea, one of my personal favourites.
- The star signs that cross over in April are Aries (21st March - 20th April) and Taurus (21st April - 20th May).
- The birthstone this month is the diamond.
So, where did the word April come from? April comes from the Latin word 'Aperire'. The Romans gave this name to the month because this is often the time of year when animals come out from hibernation, flowers start to blossom and birds leave the nest. This year, however, this all seems to be happening a little more slowly due to the chilly temperatures that have remained in many countries.
There always seem to be so many birthdays in April so, if you know anyone who has a birthday this month, then go ahead and send them a Katie's Cards birthday ecard. It's sure to bring a smile to their face, even if the weather won't...
