Here are a few suggestions:

It's very tough to give advice when we don't know the size of your plants. The "3 azaleas planted that will not get very tall": what cultivar, when were they planted? If they've been there a while and that's their mature height, then either you should move them or plants something lower in front of them. Heather, maybe? If you just planted them and they should double in size bringing them up to the bottom of your window in a year or two, then you should plant low annuals, while waiting for the growth. Or moss Phlox at the edge.

Plant bulbs. Daffodils are pretty resistant to critters, but tulips come in more colors.

Ideally, you want color in at least 3 seasons. Hellebore does well in winter, moss phlox in spring, You can add a mountaint laurel in the shady section, that will bloom in the sprint. Sedum blooms in the fall.

thanks so much for taking the time to reply and help.

I love the heavenly bamboo nandia but do not want to plant those b/c of the berries being toxic for wildlife/animals. :(

Hydrangeas would do well there, as would Hostas. There are so many varieties of Hydrangeas to choose from. Some of the colors would look wonderful with your house.
