Today’s blog is about April. April (kwiecie\u0144<\/strong>)\u00a0 was the second month in an early Roman calendar, but became the fourth when the ancient Romans started using January as the first month. The Romans called the month Aprilis. It may come from a word meanting ‘to open’, or it may come from Aphrodite, the Greek name for the goddess of love. In Polish\u00a0kwiecie\u0144<\/strong> seems to come from \u00a0“kwitn\u0105\u0107”<\/strong> (to blossom), since everything is blossoming.<\/p>\n

Small animals that hibernate are usually coming out of their burrows in April. The birds fly back northward or they settle down to have their families. The bees and butterflies begin to gather nectar from the first flowers of the season.<\/p>\n

In some parts of the world, it’s planting time. In other parts, it’s the harvest season. Professional baseball begins in April. Then the amateur athletes begin to go outside in the warm weather. Spring cleaning starts and people start mowing their yards again.<\/p>\n

Here are some popular Polish sayings about April:<\/p>\n

Kiedy w kwietniu s\u0142onko grzeje, wtedy ch\u0142op nie zubo\u017ceje.<\/strong> (When the\u00a0sun is warm in April, the\u00a0peasant will not get poor)<\/p>\n

Czasem kwietnia pora letnia, cz\u0142eka zwiedzie, w zim\u0119 zjedzie.<\/strong> (Sometimes the\u00a0summer\u00a0season\u00a0in April, a man\u00a0deceived, the winter will see)<\/p>\n

Gdyby w kwietniu nie pada\u0142o, to owoc\u00f3w b\u0119dzie ma\u0142o.<\/strong> (If it\u00a0did not rain\u00a0in April, there will be not too many fruit)<\/p>\n

Ciep\u0142y kwiecie\u0144, mokry maj, b\u0119dzie \u017cytko jako gaj.<\/strong> (Warm April, wet May will make rye grow beautiful – it is almost like “April showers bring May flowers”)<\/em><\/p>\n

Kwiecie\u0144, plecie\u0144, bo przeplata, troch\u0119 zimy, troch\u0119 lata,<\/strong><\/p>\n

p\u00f3\u0142 wiosenny, p\u00f3\u0142 zimowy, nie ka\u017cdemu bywa zdrowy,<\/strong><\/p>\n

to za\u015bwieci b\u0142yskawic\u0105, to zasypie twarz \u015bnie\u017cyc\u0105.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(April \u00a0intertwines, some\u00a0winter,\u00a0some summer,<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

half\u00a0spring, half winter, it does not bring health to everyone,<\/p>\n

sometimes lightning flashes, sometimes snow blizzard is in your face)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Cho\u0107 i w kwietniu s\u0142onko grzeje, nieraz pole \u015bnieg zawieje. <\/strong>(While the\u00a0sun is warm in April, sometimes\u00a0blows\u00a0snow on the field.)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
