Northern Catalpa,also known as the Cigar, Worm, or Bait tree

"the wood's beautiful grain is for furniture, interior trim and cabinetry. Catalpa has one of the lowest shrinkage/expansion rates of any hardwood.The tree is often sought out by fishing enthusiasts, not for the plant itself, but for a common parasite that is used as bait. The catalpa moth is widely regarded as one of the best live baits, and the tree may be planted strictly for this purpose." (wiki)

When I was a kid living way out in the woods in central New Brunswick, a bookmobile came out about once a month. What a fabulous service. I hope they still happen. #library #bookmobile #RuralCanada

This was the sign outside the one and only store in our #town . They were open for 99 years but unfortunately closed last year.
