April used to be the second month according to the Roman calendar. There are various ideas how it got its name, one being the from the word "aperire" for open because that's what the flowers start doing but there are also rumours that it might come from the goddess Aphrilis or Aphrodite. The birthstone of this month is the diamond, one of the hardest and most appreciated gemstones.

Enjoy this month with the beautiful watercolour painting by Frank Koebsch with a view of a beautiful village in Northern Germany.
