I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems to me we're having a hell of a time getting a decent Easter anymore. Last year we were quite literally snowed in and it seems to me the years preceding that i was still wearing my winter coat as well. This year, 10 to 15 cm of snow today and nothing above zero for the entire weekend.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a kid I remember Easter being in the spring. Spring clothes, spring jackets. Rubber boots instead of winter boots in lousy weather. We walked from the church to our grandfather's house after the Easter service for dinner with our jackets dangling under our arms. We swung from his tree swing and didn't think about being cold. There were daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths....
I understand this is the earliest Easter we've had in ages, but even so, April Easters of late have been no better. Has global warming robbed my kids of ever having an Easter egg hunt without having to wear winter mittens?
