I am enthralled with your pictures!! Studied them at Webshots for quite a while....I have never had such a Clean Slate to start with....you can do ANYTHING, well anything within the CC&R's....;)
And I am impressed with the demo that you have already done....I'll bet that felt so good to get all that out of there!! Now for the fun part, planning, studying gardening books, watching gardening shows..(or Tivo-ing them to watch later..;) ), and of course looking all around DG to decide what you want to do! I do all that stuff all the time, and have a roughly 5-year plan to get the bones completed in my yard...then a life-time plan of changing, rearranging, and adding to it...LOL ;o) If my garden was ever "done", I would have to move to keep on gardening, its just what I do for ME! Not the kids, the Job, the dogs, my friends, but ME! I love all those other things, but Gardening is what soothes me, energizes me, gives me a place to be creative, and lets me do it my way - I simply love it!! And I can only imagine that as long as the scope of a new landscape to work on doesn't overwhelm (and come here if it starts too!!! LOL), you must have some of those feelings too...or maybe I am just a whacko...LOL ;o)

Enough for now!

ps....I included a pic of my shade garden...Brunnera 'Jack Frost'.....love those leaves!! ;o)
