Spring !

This sweet baby has arrived just in time to welcome Spring.
I love Spring.
I have so much energy this year. But it's hard to control my wanderlust.
I am going to try to take a relaxed approach to Spring and spring chores.
I have a list of things that must be done before Easter.
But before I get to that list. I wanted to share a bit of Trivia.

Did you ever wonder why Easter falls on a different Sunday each year?

Easter always falls on the 

first Sunday AFTER the first Full Moon AFTER the Vernal (Spring) Equinox.

The word AFTER is very important here.

If the full moon falls ON the Equinox, we need to wait til the next Full Moon
That's why Easter is so late in some years.

Easter can never be earlier that March 22nd or later than April 25th.

How it falls into place this year:
Spring - March 20th
Full Moon - March 27th
Easter - March 31st

So it's easy to remember:

Easter always falls on  the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the equinox, to celebrate Easter.

The exception

There is always an exception to every rule right?

Passover

If the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the equinox,

falls during passover...Easter gets bumped to the next Sunday.

Passover said     "Pardon me I was here first"

                      Easter replied   "OK ...I'll see you next week"

Now I need to get back to my  list of outdoor fun... 
I need:
 3 yards of mulch
NO NEW PLANTS !   I need to stop feeding the deer.
More walks
More daydreaming
More family time.
More photographs.

Happy Spring Everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
