Cooking on Easter Eve

We'll clean the stove at the Shak at 3:00, go out to the woods collecting at 4:00, and then back at the Shak for more cooking tonight.  Our friend who's 85 (making syrup since he was 9) says you're ALWAYS cooking on Easter.  If Easter is early, then the maple season is early.  If Easter is late, it seems the maple season is late as well. Proves true this year.
