I associate the month of april with the following in no particular order
- Showers.
- Daisies.
- Buddha’s birthday.
- All fools day! The French call April 1 Poisson d’Avril, or “April Fish.”
- Shared between the Ram and the Bull… colours ranging from fiery reds to oranges and earth tones.
- Return of British swallows.
