“Sweet April showers do spring May flowers” wrote 16th-century English poet Thomas Tusser. Those famous words remind us that while April is a month known for rain and a lingering chill, it also is a time when we stand on the brink of beauty and life in bloom, once again.

Indeed, April is beloved for its possibilities. The last frost of winter ends this month, making it the perfect time to plant seedlings. Easter and Passover celebrations are imbued with themes of renewal for many. And April is also National Brunch Month!
