When you think about the month of income tax forms come to mind? In the month of April, we experience mixed emotions and thoughts such as stress, relaxation, starting fresh, warm days, cleaning, etc. Our hearts are full of renewal and fresh starts. It may rain on or off again, but we really begin to notice it, when the sun is shining, and you want to be out there enjoying it, not inside cleaning. These are the true signs of the month of April. April comes from the Latin word aperire which means “to open�. The name is appropriate because in many places trees and flowers begin to bloom and open during the month of April. In ancient Rome, April was the second month of the year. When the Gregorian calendar was adopted, it became the fourth month of the year. It is one of the four months with thirty days. The birthstone for April is the diamond. Usually diamonds bring thoughts of engagement rings and colorless, sparkling stones, but diamonds come in several colors too. Yellow, red, pink, blue and green diamonds are rare and usually more expensive than colorless diamonds. The Diamond is associated with enhancing relationships and increasing inner strength. The Traditional Metaphysical Properties for the April Birthstone Diamond are balance, clarity and abundance. The healing properties of the April birthstone are reputed to be effective for health problems relating to brain diseases, pituitary glands. The Diamond is also used to draw out toxins and therefore was used as a remedy for poison. April's birth flower is the daisy which conveys innocence, loyal love, and purity. It is also a flower given between friends to keep a secret; the daisy means "I'll never tell." The other April flower is the sweet pea. Sweet peas signify blissful pleasure, but are also used to say good-bye.

April Holidays and Observances April Fool’s Day, the first day in April. On this day practical jokes are practiced on the unwary (and often the wary as well). This tradition seems to have originated in France where New Years Day was celebrated during medieval times on the 1st of April. Gregory XIII changed it back to the 1st of January in 1582. Many people in rural areas did not make the change for several years. The cosmopolitan city dwellers thought them fools for this reason and it became the fashion to take advantage of the naivetÊ of the provincials on this date. The practice spread to England and other English speaking countries. When "The Masters" was created, the other golf tournaments that existed: (1) The U.S. Open (2) The PGA (Professional Golfer's Association) had never played in the southern United States or what is termed "the deep South." So, in 1934, Bobby Jones, a famous golfer who had come from the South and who had also designed the golf course for the prominent and exclusive Augusta National Golf Club, decided to start a golf tournament in Georgia. This is why The Masters is held the first week of April every year in Augusta, Georgia. Don't forget that Income Tax Day is April 15th. Be sure to have your tax return postmarked by midnight! The oldest footrace in America! The Boston Marathon takes place the third Monday in April each year since 1969. This is also "Patriot's Day" in Massachusetts (and Maine) named for the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Therefore, as its name implies, the Boston Marathon is always held in the city of Boston, Massachusetts on "Patriot's Day," Ironically, the Boston Athletic Association first organized the race to be run on St. Patrick's Day in 1897, with only 15 runners. Today it records as many as 9,000 runners each year. The course is 26.2 miles long. Its basis is the original Olympic footraces held in 1896 which is from the legend that a Greek runner ran 25 miles to bring the news of the marathon to Athens that they WON over the Persians in 490 BC. Earth Day/Arbor Day is observed on April 22nd. Many communities plan programs and events geared toward protecting and cleaning up the environment. Only two countries celebrate Arbor Day: The United States and Puerto Rico.

Historic Events in March President Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. The first Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. They began on April 6, 1896. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 after hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. The United States Air Force Academy was established on April 1, 1954.
April cold with dropping rain Willows and lilacs brings again, The whistle of returning birds And trumpet-lowing of the herds. Ralph Waldo Emerson

April President’s Article
April is now upon us and we must share our gratitude to all the residents who helped with the March activities. I will not attempt to name individuals as that would be sheer folly. Your collective contributions to Lake Hammock Village make it a great place to live. Our five and a half months have sped by too quickly. Where did the time go? We still have things we want to do. However, shortly after you read this article, we will be on our way to our summer home in Ontario. But we are not going yet as I understand they are getting another blast of winter snow! Hopefully by the end of the second week of April all the winter experience will be done. As occurred last year, the Board will be cancelling its meetings in the summer. Therefore, ideas for summer activities should be presented by the May Board meeting. The Board can hold an emergency meeting, but planning several months ahead is really helpful. This year, during my absence, I have asked Vice President Brian Lund to write these articles and to chair the Board and General Meetings. I am sure he will receive great support from all of you. To each of our snowbirds, I extend our thanks for their participation in all of our activities and a safe journey home. To all the year-round residents we thank you for your support and wish for you a safe and healthy summer. And we look forward to coming together once again next fall and winter at our Lake Hammock Village community. The following quote best describes for us going home to spring: “In our part of the country, spring passes by quickly. If you haven’t been out for five days, you find the trees in bud. If you don’t see the trees for another five days, you discover that they’ve put out leaves. In another five days, they’re so green you wouldn’t recognize them. It makes you wonder; that’s how fast spring goes by. You can almost see it. From far away it comes racing towards you. And when it reaches you, it whispers in your ear, “I’m here.” And then runs swiftly on. Xiao Hong Regards, Dave

Something on April 15 is more important than submitting your tax payment to the IRS. It is also the day that Lake Hammock Villagers are going to the Columbia Restaurant in Celebration to share good food and fellowship. Have you heard about the original Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City near Tampa? If you have you know it opened in 1905 and has shared Spanish and Cuban culinary treasures ever since. The Columbia now has eight locations in Florida and the Celebration location is in our backyard. A sample menu is posted in the clubhouse near the sign-up sheets. If there are too many choices, go safe and order one of their tapas (appetizer) and a smaller version of their famous 1905 salad. Save room for dessert...the Columbia bread pudding is a memory maker. It's large enough to share. Sign-up before April 13. Meet at the clubhouse at 11:00 am to car pool to Celebration. Lori Johnsen (863)588.1599 is your hostess. _____________________________________________________________
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.” The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?” The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know…the one that is red and has thorns.” “Do you mean a rose?” “Yes,” the man said, He turned toward the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”
I hate paying my income tax. You should be a good citizen – why don’t you pay with a smile? I’d like to but they insist on money.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.
