You may have a fly on your nose, a lizard on your head, or your shoes may be untied. Watch out! It’s April Fool’s Day!
How long has that light-hearted tradition been around? Well over three hundred years. It’s a time when people get kind of giddy, thinking about winter being over and spring just beginning.
If you were lucky enough to be born in April, your birthstone is a diamond. Can’t get any better than that. And, your flower? It’s the lovely and fragrant sweet pea or the bright-faced daisy.
You share your birth month with William Wordsworth and William Shakespeare. With all that going for you, the sky is the limit.
Here’s a snippet of a poem to start your day off right:
Oh, how fresh the wind is blowing!
See! The sky is bright an clear,
Oh, how green the grass is growing!
April! April! Are you here?
–Dora R. Goodale (1866–1953)
