There’s no certainty about the origin of the name April, other than the Latin word Aprilis, related to the verb aperire, meaning “to open.” You can see the connection, if you think of this month as the time when flowers and leaves unfurl from their winter slumber and open up. April is when the weather and nature are clearly heading in the direction of summer. It’s one of the best months of the year, with resurgent life in all of its beautiful aspects on full display, from the wildflowers that show up so unexpectedly to the trees that again find their color. It’s the perfect time to hike the splendid hills of the Peninsula and rediscover your inner sense of awe. “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” — WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE welcome back
