Babcia made a list — a “To Do” list.
First item down.
Sort of.
There is no other way to get rid of branches and such is to burn them. There’s no “leave them at the edge of your property and the city will pick them up” option.

Linden Tree
The Linden tree in Babcia’s yard is in full bloom now. The number and richness of the blossoms is astounding. Equally incredible is the constant and unmistakeable sound of bees buzzing around the blossoms.
| Under der linden an der heide, dâ unser zweier bette was, dâ muget ir vinden schône beide gebrochen bluomen unde gras. vor dem walde in einem tal, tandaradei, schône sanc diu nahtegal. | Under the linden tree on the open field, where we two had our bed, you still can see lovely both broken flowers and grass. On the edge of the woods in a vale, tandaradei, sweetly sang the nightingale. |
Or in another cultural context: “Dragostea din tei” (“Love from the Lindens” according to Wikipedia) which became the famous “Numa Numa” video.
