Something unheard-of is happening right now in Central Texas this Holy Saturday evening…. it is sleeting. Sometimes, if Easter happens to fall in late March, we might get a cold front that comes through that cools it off into the upper 50s. But in April? Cold enough for sleet??
Kaeta had her first Easter egg hunt (since she’s big enough to gether her own eggs) this morning at the neighborhood park. Since it was too cold and wet for a traditional hunt, we stayed under the shelter of the pavilion while the kids took turns pulling eggs out of a big box. Normally we might poke a little fun at the idea, but Kaeta had a great time.
Poor little Marty just came back inside, and after being out there for less than two minutes, came in covered in little ice pellets. Poor dog would have held it if he could.
It is kind of appropriate, I guess, to have a white Easter — because of Christ’s death and resurrection, “though your sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). We hope you have a blessed Easter and manage to stay warm!
