P, thank you so much for all these thoughts... I should look up more of these online, and you're right about looking for long-term. I have just been so desperate that I was trying to think "how do I make it stop being annoying now?"
I always used to dream of what kinds of trees I wanted when I had my own yard. Japanese maples and those other purple-leafed maples often figured into my visions. I think the smaller Japanese Maple might work, but there should be nice colors on the side.
I am going to plant some bulbs this fall... and dig up some daylilies. Lots and lots of daylilies. I hate to dig up plants but the woman who lived here before me had almost completely opposite taste in flora from me. I'm hoping to find a home for them.
Anyway, just so you know, I'm memming and keeping all this in mind and mulling it over-- so thank you very much for all your time and input and thoughts! I've obviously been too stressed to think about it properly, but thinking about it properly will be fun. ♥
