mardi gras....

ok, so mardi gras snuck up early this year......what with easter early as well.......i have been looking into dates of these events.....in preparation for my birthday bookclub......hemingway's a moveable feast.......all feasts associated with easter are moveable feasts...as the timing is related directly to easter...and easter's timing is complicated......hence.....mardi gras is 48 days prior to easter.......and can be in february or march depending on easter's date........for the record, mardi gras will be on my birthday in 2020.....should my bookclub last that long we will have plenty to celebrate......
