the PAM GRIER

Today I will talk about all of the Buck-situation in the shire.

We have:

Buckland, a region, kinda

Brandywine River, a river near Buckland

Bucktown, a town in Buckland

Brandybuck family, a family that mostly lives in Buckland.

Now, all of this places and things are called similarly to each other and we can see the connection, but our dear Ottavio Fatica said no! He and to mess up again.

Buckland became Landaino, a fusion of the words “land” and “daino” (“fawn”, like Bambi), and it sound unbearably awful. I don’t even know where to put the accent.

Brandywine became Brandivino, that kind of makes sense because “vino” means wine, but the words are so similar that Fatica could have left the original name.

Bucktown is almost as bad as Landaino, cause it became “Borgodaino”. I mean. Borgodaino. Really? It literally means “Town Fawn”.

And, cherry on the cake, we have our dear Brandybuck family, that became fucking “Brandaino”. Brandaino. Again, we have the “daino”, the little Bambi that decided to join the quest and throw himself in Mount Doom, but then we also have the “Bran” part, that doesn’t mean shit in Italian nor English. This one IS as bad as LANDAINO. while I was reading I could NOT understand if we were talking about the region, the city, the rivers or the fucking family because of this mess.

Sometimes your trees and your house are having the architectural equivalent of a shouting match.

Day 2 of our landscape revolution: Strategic Tree Removal, where we're not killing trees—we're curating spaces. There's a peculiar magic in what remains after thoughtful subtraction. Your home has been waiting patiently behind those overgrown sentinels, ready for its close-up.

When done with intention (and proper permits, because bureaucracy doesn't appreciate spontaneous chainsaw artistry), removing select trees isn't environmental betrayal. It's landscape liberation.

Your property's personality has been there all along, just waiting for someone to clear its throat.

Curious about how this pairs with proper grading? That conversation continues here: The Cost of Landscape Grading in Georgia
