This year was candy and red onions. I plan to freeze all the reds. They don't store great either.
We had some extremely tasty onion rings though. :drool

Reds lasted until January for me. The WW lasted a month. I bought some one year from the Shriners and they also said the wrap in newspaper and put in the crispers. Lasted for months.
 
I think these chickens have narcolepsy, iv'e got more pictures of them asleep than awake.
These two, as soon as I get them out of the pen Homer and Puddin "who the feather fairy hasn't visited too much".

Firstly before I start let me make clear so this dosent sound too bad.
I don't get any help with the chickens, if I need another set of hands im just out of luck.
Secondly, my house is right on the road if im where the coop is im extremely visible nowhere to hide so I don't even try.
My rooster Negan somehow got the majority of his tush covered in pine resin and was collecting leaves, dirt, acorns etc on his rear.
Resin won't wash off, dust bathing made it worse so last option was a butt cut, a two person job a holder and a snipper.
Negan is a doll though, he's o.k if it just feels like somebody has him so I had the bright idea to stick him backwards in an old baby swing to get that mess off him.
I got my stuff together, scissors a towel to cover his head and some oil so he wouldn't collect more resin the only edible oil I had was a jug of wesson an econo jug.
I set up my barber shop near the coop in the shade and grabbed my only customer.
I toweled his head, tipped him down in the seat rested his bottom on the tray and waited to see if it was even remotely going to work lol.
In a minute or two he was asleep and I got to work and it wasn't long before I heard honking, tires squealing and yelling behind me.
My first thought was an accident, people wreck all the time on this road but nope, it was people about to wreck watching me ungunk a rooster.
I had people stop and pull in my driveway and the waves, iv'e never waved so much in my entire life.
Poor Negan woke up to a breeze and an audience and I have to wave at least a couple times a week now.
I still don't get any help lol. :)

It is more of a story/set of interesting events really. I will let Chicky tell it. She has a wonderful way with words.

I'm listening for the alarm, or activity this morning. Yesterday morning, the youngest grand, who is in VPK, shut off both alarms, so they wouldn't wake her mother. Yes, she still likes school, but wanted to stay home. She got her tablet, plugged in her headphones, and hid under her covers with it. She even resisted the temptation to greet her grandpa when he came home from work. About 9:30 am, it was discovered what she had done. Her mother had a chat with her about it. Hopefully the chat worked, and we won't have to take sterner measures.
