Garbage Day in Cape Breton
- in Maryland I pay twice as much in property tax and have to pay a fee to deliver my own separated garbage to the land fill but here in Cape Breton it is picked up, no up front fee just one of the benefits of the property tax - thumbs up
Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!

Highland Cattle
Highland
cattle are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy
coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver or

the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and were first mentioned in
the 6th century AD.More at Wikipedia
My Son and I - completed scraping and priming (with good old oil-base paint) two sides of the house before the weather moved in
this slowed down the blogging for a few days, eh?
(updated for my misspelling of scraping - thank you sweetie!)

Cattails
Typha /ˈtaɪfə/ is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae. These plants have many common names, in British English as bulrush, or reedmace,[2] in American English as cattail,[3] punks, or corn dog grass, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō. Other taxa of plants may be known as bulrush, including some sedges in Scirpus and related genera.
The genus is largely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, where it is found in a variety of wetland habitats.
The rhizomes are edible. Evidence of preserved starch grains on grinding stones suggests they were already eaten in Europe 30,000 years ago.[4]
