laundry again

So 9:51, and yes, I'm doing laundry. The kids did eat apple slices today too. And my garden pots are doing poorly. They should be stunning, but somehow, they aren't. The grasshoppers ate a lot of the sweet potatoes and other leaves, and the heat is keeping things from blooming. But the snapdragons are starting to go. So, that is gardening a little good, a little bad, and a lot of patience.
