Yes, there was something different about this Easter...the extremely early date.  It is possible for it to be one day earlier, but that hasn't happened  in any of our lifetimes, and won't.  Only those among us 95 and older have seen it this early, and none of us  will live long enough to see it this early again.

Folk wisdom says an early Easter means a late Spring and the reverse.  So far this Spring has seemed more or less on a normal schedule.  I'll have to remember to note if there is a late freeze or the like. Last year spring was late, with an unusual late April freeze here, and Easter was right in the middle of its range, so folk wisdom is not always all that wise.
