A Definite Sign of Spring




As always these flowers make it open for Easter even if it is earlier than it will be for some two hundred years.


"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 that were around for that!).
"The next 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 will ever see it any earlier than this year!"

Update

I've been told that people check my blog just so they know what I have been doing lately. I guess it appears that I haven't been doing anything for a couple of months. As most of you know, I started my new job in January. Last week (not the one we just finished), it really kicked my butt. This week, it was a minor tab to the posterior. There is so much to know, and sometimes, I just feel like an idiot. That has been where most of my energy goes. A year of upheaval in your job can just throw you some. I don't know how people go from job to job.
No trips for me since January. I started back to yoga (need to drop that 8lbs I put on). If I loose some or don't gain anymore, I can stay in my current clothes. There has been lots of beer drinking especially last Saturday. (Tell me why you book non-Irish bands for St. Patrick's Day.) I saw Tara and Jim recently (in February or late January I think). We went to Capital Ale House to sample some beer (notice a theme here).
All of you guys probably know too that we are planning a trip this year that will fulfill a lifelong dream. I will actually make it to Alaska...and just before I turn 40!
Today my plans are to do some yard work...its 11:30 and I haven't made it out there yet. Hmm, doesn't look promising. Also, I plan to go to Costen floors to look at flooring for my kitchen and bathroom. It is going to be really hard not to buy for my tastes, and instead buy nuetral in hopes it will appeal to some unknown individual.
That is what I have been doing lately.
