April

April is the fourth month of the year and marks the middle of the spring/autumn. The grass and leaves start becoming a more vibrant green in the northern hemisphere, and slowly turn brown, red, and yellow in the southern hemisphere. One of this month's most important events (at least, in the northern hemisphere) is the Cherry Blossom Festival, which happens in every game from the Animal Crossing series.
