Belated Easter Wishes

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Along with it being Easter weekend it was also our first day of trout season. We went fishing. After little success (one fish in two days) in the river we ventured into the woods to a stream

to try our luck on brook trout and came upon this......

I have contacted the DOI to find out about it. It interests me because

1) I found this on State Game Land which was privately owned in 1965

2) I wonder what information they were trying to find at that time and why at that spot in the woods

3) are they still getting information from this site

4) What did they use the information for.

The fishing and the garden have take time away from the fiber. I have only knit four rows on the shrug but the broccoli is coming up and so is the asparagus!!! It is suppose to rain later this week which should give me knitting time.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
