Weekly iPhone Roundup {3.11 - 3.17}

First I'd like to say, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Another eventful weeks for the books. Not anything major, just doing a lot and involved in a lot. I added 3 new Silkie Chicks to the flock, which was an impulse buy. I only wanted two white ones, but there was legit only 3 left, so I couldn't leave the third little one behind. 

We also took all the glider cages out and cleaned them, which was an all day thing. We also cleaned the toys, wheels and all the cage sets. The gliders were probably having a sensory overload due to all the cleanliness. I'll be the first to admit that we absolutely do not clean their cages as much as we should. With the weather getting warmer, we really have no excuse. 

Aside from that we had the Bald Eagle excitement from my last post. Still so damn cool and I'm so proud of the pictures I was able to capture. It makes me want a higher quality telephoto lens now, which is terrible. It's not like it's gonna happen, They're insanely expensive.

I also got to play the Resident Evil 4 remake demo yesterday. So. Freaking. Amazing! If anyone knows me, they know I love anything Resident Evil. My sister and I have legit been playing Resident evil games since 1999, which is almost a quarter century... unreal! For the solo games, RE4 has to be one of my favorites. I have so many good memories with it, I think that's why I love it so much. I got the remastered version for PS4, but the rendering or something really screws with my eyes. 

I almost forgot to add that I went with my aunt to our culty neighbors house Wednesday to look at some sprouts. Word on the street is that they're selling their property. I couldn't believe it, I was both excited and dreading who might move in after them. That's beside the point. I mainly went to look at their chicken coop that they have for sale. We've been in need of a new coop for years. We have the lumber and everything else for our new one, but we have to wait until my uncle is recovered from his surgery to build it for us. Until then, we thought this coop would be perfect. They're asking a lot for the coop, but they did agree to go down a few hundred dollars, which is awesome. I just have to contemplate for the next week or so on what to do.

Anyways, I think that's pretty much it. Anything else will be in the photos and not worth writing too much about. Enjoy!


Living in a rural region means you absolutely will get stuck behind farmers and their tractors.

Here's the new baby Silkies! One looks cream, but the other two are for sure white.

Granny Layla.

Perryvile, MO streets and night.

People are so nasty. Someone left their McFlurry outside the drive-thru window Saturday night.

I'm in love with the new baby Silkies. They're tiny and terrified.

The drive-thru was a bitch Sunday night at McDonald's. I do not miss these days.

This baby turkey wanted so badly to come home with me.

So did this one.

And that one in the back.

Notes on the clawfoot bathtub. Love the aesthetic.

Walmart grocery pickup for the win. The guy that almost always bring the order out is a guy named, Nathan, that I used to work with at McDonald's.

The drive home on the new Saint Francois bridge.

The boys cage was nice and clean Tuesday. All at my own hand, I might add.

Mr. Max... he's such a beautiful red boy.

Here's the Bald Eagle next from afar. I sure hope the owner of the farm doesn't mind us parking here.

It's really far back.

Thankfully the zoom on my phone got a decent picture of the mated pair of Bald Eagles.

This is Miss Louise, our scissor beak chick.

She's such a curious and sweet girl.

Here's more of the baby chicks.

And more of the baby chicks.

The scraggly one is our white Polish Crested chick, Thrya.

This absolutely insane black and white chick is another one of our Polish Crested chicks. Her name is Brida. If you know, you know.

A more calm Crested Polish.

I just love all our chicks so much.

This is the rarely photographed black Silkie.

Here are the other 3 glider cages in the process of being cleaned. After months and months, we finally moved Cas' cage out of the room. :(

I not only scrubbed their water bottles, but I boiled them first. I also soaked all the nozzles in white vinegar to break off hard water stains.

Our one white HQ sugar glider cage all nice and clean.

Our double stacked HQ sugar glider cages, nice and clean.

And lastly, our Double Critter Nation sugar glider cage that got cleaned the day before.

Here's a pic of the new Resident Evil 4 remake demo. Loved it!

Nasty, hazy day.

Here are the sprouts that the neighbors gave us. They're all in really rough shape.

And last, but not least, all of the Dunkin' Donuts s'mores iced cases that were given to us.

Weekly iPhone Roundup {2.11 - 2.17}

 It's that time again. At least I managed a regular post this week, which didn't happen last week. However, I do have far fewer pictures to share from my phone this week. I don't know why, I just didn't take that many.

It's been kind of a boring week, but we did get all the lumber delivered for our new chicken coop! I'm so, so, so excited! It's going to be a massive upgrade from our ancient one. This one will be completely enclosed with an actual floor, windows and a roof! It'll also have a heat lamp for the winter months. I literally can't wait.

I guess that's all for now, here are the pics:


My mom's dog, Ella. She's the chunkiest and sweetest girl. Although she looks pretty crazy here.

Late night McDonald's mobile orders for the win. Their americanos are so freaking good.

This is a dozen roses from Walmart. Very beautiful, very small. I was going to get these for my aunt, but couldn't justify the $16 that they cost compared to the size. Such a ripoff.

Here's some of the lumber and siding for the new chicken coup!

My lemon sprouts continue to grow by the day!

It's beginning to look a lot like April...

April Fools, that is. I've been KILLING my uncle all day, so has LaVaughn and my aunt. Poor bastard -- he deserves every ounce of whatever he gets, though. He would do it to us in a heartbeat. His wits have slowed a bit with his age, so he's not as quick as he used to be, he's also quite gullible anymore.

I honestly don't have too much time to blog today, it's been one of those non-stop type of days. We started by repairing some of the chicken coop fencing, then clipped all the ducks wings, fed all the cats, fed ourselves, cleared some of the hundreds of walnuts that we have in the yard, then showered and went to town. See, non-stop.

We also picked up The Sims: Get To Work, which was the main reason we decided to go to town in the first place. It's so funny, because I called about 3 hours before we went to town and asked if they had it. The guys response... "No, sorry." I hate when people wont even put forth and effort and do their jobs. Well anyways, they had it, so yay!

A few minutes before we left for town, LaVaughn said she heard a baby crying in the glider room. Sure enough, Kira's babies had detached! It took us less than 3 grab them and run. We didn't hold them long, just long enough to assess them and take their pictures. Of course, we managed to get some snuggles in. I'm sure she'll be out in the cage playing without them tonight.

Right now all I can think of is updating my Origin account and installing my new Sims game, so that I will do...

Love & Peace
