Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Good commutes?

How are Mrs MacNessa and her leg doing? Is she good with the walker?

[mylife]

Great news!

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUG))...Maddi was brought over briefly as she missed GranPa. Got some immediate squeeze hugs. She stayed about 20 mins with her Mom.

Never been there but I do know Linden is a common carving wood.
The most favored today.
Butternut, Walnut and Sugar Pine are also popular.

"Unter Den Linden Strasse" = "Under the Linden Avenue."

The European Linden is in the same genus as the American Basswood.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[yarddog]

Could it be translated as: “Under the Linden Trees street”?

[mylife]

A soft wood, fast growing deciduous tree.

[yarddog]

Thanks, that makes sense.

[left that other site]

Thank you!

(((hugs))))

“Unter der Linden” means “Under the Lindon Trees.

Unter der Linden Strasse is a large boulevard in Berlin lined with those trees. Of course, after the Allied Bombing, as in this picture, the trees are pretty much gone, but have been restored. It is like the Champs Ellyses in Paris, or Fifth Avenue in NY, or Commonwealth Ave in Boston.

There was an old song about it...that’s how I know.

[mylife]

Sure, but the trees are stunted and young, so the caption is curious.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO!!!!

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...wonderful news!!

Did you have good lessons to go along with Lynn-Dah's news?

[mylife]

So you have solved the mystery.
This pic is about vigorous regrowth.
I think you are correct.

[Kathy in Alaska]

That is great for GranPa and for Maddi. A good day!! ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....Mac grabs the gold!!

[mylife]

All I know is I chop the stuff up and make it into stuff.
It holds a nice edge.

[yarddog]

Thanks, Interesting how much knowledge is available on FR.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a close second....Connie snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....The Mayor bags the bronze!!

[ConorMacNessa]

I did indeed, Kathy! Reasonably good commutes, thanks. Mrs. MacNessa is doing well - going stir crazy at home. (Spring Break)

Crazy weather - we were down in the 20's early this morning. but my daffodils are almost finished due to the couple days of 80-plus degrees we had last weekend.

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Did you have a good commute? Safe and leisurely?

We had a 5.1 earthquake today...one big, pretty short, shake! About 115 miles north.
