Sunset on Muddy Ridge from the Mailbox This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones who were around for that!).The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So no one alive today has, or ever will see Easter any earlier than this year!
Hope you all have a wonderful day, and that it is spent just the way you wish it to be. I'm sure missing all my family so far away, but its beautiful here today and am glad to be here. You would love to see the snow and colors on the mountains, and the way the cows looked out in the field this morning strung out walking to the barn get a drink of water. I stood there a long time this morning looking at the hills. Its sure still white though. Still cold too. I'm going to make us a ham dinner with pumpkin pie later. Joe's got the game on TV. Debbie called last night and we got to talk for a while, that was nice. If anything interesting happens, I'll be back later.
