Lovely Landscaping

Since our move-in date is moving closer and closer, I have been thinking a lot about landscaping. What kind of tree do I want to replace my beloved? What type of gorgeous flowers would set the house off? Yard ornaments...yes or no?
As I was pulling into my driveway last night I decided to take a quick photo of the yard that belongs to Ms. Flake (or better known as Plant Stealer.) I have taken it upon myself to add some comments to this photo. Please feel free to add any comments that you feel appropriate. (Click on the photo for a better view.)
