Ode to a new day

     So today, I have a few things going on.  First off, Prince is playing Ode to Joy in his class' talent show.  He is really excited about that!  I will post some pics of it later today.  Secondly, I am completing a project that I have wanted to do for quite a while now.  With Brian out of town, I am using this time to fix up the flower beds in my yard.  They have become overgrown with the grass, and I have not been as diligent as I could have been about pulling weeds.  In addition, the base of our four trees looks like cr@*, so i will be changing that as well.  I started with the grass the other day, and today I should be completing that part of the project.  I would also like to get the ground prepped around the trees.  I plan on putting in a 4 ft by 4 ft square around the bottom of all of our trees, and then placing mulch and flowers inside.  It should look good when I am finished.  On top of all that, I will be planting a bunch of annuals to fill in around my perennials.  I think it is going to look fabulous when I am all done.  I went out and took some before pictures this morning...
