Spring Awakening

4/1/2024 4:01:57 PM

The word ‘April’ is derived from the Latin term aperio which means to open, uncover, reveal, or explain. In particular regard the month of the year, this reference points to the opening of the springtime buds and blossoms. Here in Minnesota, our landscape is revealed from beneath the snowfall. We open our windows, shake off the dust, and roll up our sleeves for some spring cleaning. We can get outside and soar on Go Fly a Kite Day on April 21st and celebrate our planet with an Earth Day event on April 22nd. Lastly, let’s awaken our creative spirits through reading, writing, and listening because April is National Poetry Month.
