APRIL,2013

April is believed to come from the verb aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open," which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of anoixis - opening for spring. Earth Day (April 22) and Arbour Day (April 26) also remind us that it is time to start planning the garden; what we are going to plant and where.

This is the month we push the Crockpot to the back of the cupboard and pull running shoes out of closets as we start to get ready to move part of our lives outdoors again. It is also a great time to buy colourful rugs and cushions to brighten up the living space.

I am not one of those people who reads less when winter is over but I do find that my book choices change. Now I am starting to buy books that are less history and family sagas and more quick reads perhaps taking me to a foreign country. Curiosity did get the better of me and I just purchased Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In.  Look for my review of that in the months to come.

This month TimeFinders Magazine is welcoming two new columnists, Marcy Field and Karen Hamilton. Don’t forget that we are always on the look out for interesting articles.
