1.This from our house looking at the area where the studio will be. (we let our native Oregon tall grass grow wild this year)

2. Foreground is the studio site. This was the site of an old filled-in well with walls of flagstone and years and years of salal growth. Hubby is clearing it out. He says this was harder than any of the blackberry roots he's dug up because the salal roots went way, way down.

4. Looking south under pines.

5. This is our outdoor bedroom that a local fellow made. We are having him build another for the art studio. We're making payments so won't get it until sometime next year, but I can at least have the shade garden started!
