    My grandfather, (not the one who has dementia who lives with me,) came to visit me and my family. I decided to surprise him with one of my Dutch oven meals. I made him Peach cobbler. It worked out well, but next time I need to drain the peaches more. A little too much liquid on the bottom.

    Not trying to advertise, but there’s a forum I belong to called garden.org. They have an excellent plant ID section. You could post your pictures of this plant there and they could identify it for you!

    Thanks so much. I will definitely put some stuff in there that they can do things with.

    Chicks pecking each other in the brooder

    I’m pretty sure the brooder is big enough. I, a 6’ 1” male, can easily lay in it if it didn’t have chicks and sawdust inside. As for enrichment, I haven’t done anything because I don’t know what enrichment for chickens is, to be honest. No trips outside yet, I thought they still needed to be...

    I have a big patch of purple irises, but every year, a single white one blooms. Where it came from, I don’t know. All my irises except for this one are purple. Not an entry.

    I got a new brooder in the mail coming today. Those chicks are getting big and I needed a bigger brooder. The coop is about halfway done, by the way. On a side note, I found this recipe, and I’m gonna try to adapt it to Dutch oven. https://www.food.com/amp/recipe/rhubarb-crisp-93946

    Had a bit of a scare last night. One of the chicks escaped the brooder and I couldn’t find her until 9:00 PM. She wasn’t hurt, she was calmly roosting on the food storage shelf. How she got up there, I don’t know. I guess she’s a good jumper.

    Raising toad eggs

    I was thinking about keeping one at one point, but I know nothing about raising toads. I think I’m gonna pass on it for now. That may change, though.

    Good morning, everyone. I did another Dutch oven experiment. I turned the lid upside down and used it to make scrambled eggs while hash browns were cooking in the main oven. It was a success, and I made a delicious Mountain Man Breakfast. Next time, though, I need to cook everything 10...

    Raising toad eggs

    Awesome, thanks for all the information. I deeply appreciate it. I’m still trying to figure out how to do a water change without accidentally hurting the tadpoles. I think I need a special type of net to scoop them out. ETA: By the way, how do you care for your toads in winter? Don’t they need...
