Weekly iPhone Roundup {3.4 - 3.10}

This has been a very, very eventful week. From adding new additions to receiving long awaited items - even a surgery mixed in the middle of it all. Monday night was the most eventful of all, but that's only due to the fact that my uncle got home from the hospital after having knee surgery early Monday morning. We had to help a lot after his surgery, but Monday was just surreal. 

He was highly overstimulated and couldn't sleep because he was non-stop worrying about how to lay his leg/knee, so he was just freaking out non-stop. Needless to say vodka came in to play to help settle our nerves, lol. He's doing miles better now and decided to sleep in the recliner instead of the bed, which helped him get to sleep. 

Aside from that excitement, we also added 7 new additions to the flock. There were SO many different breeds at Buchheits, I couldn't hardly contain myself. I ended up leaving with 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Silver Laced Wyandottes. I missed out on the Silver Wyandottes last week, so I was stoked when they had them this week. The only downside... they only had 3 left and there was no way I could leave just one behind. It sucks cause I've been trying to keep it to two of each breed, but it is what it is.

We also got our new stove delivered this week. Our old one when kaput last week, so it was time to get a new one. First thing that went south was the main burner, then the oven stopped working. Yay. Luckily we were able to get one from Hefners, which they delivered yesterday. 

I think that's all I'm going to write about. The rest will be told through the pictures and the caption I add. 

All the baby ducks at Buchheits.

Me running out with my new additions.

Here are the little beauties! Three Silver Laced Wyandottes, two Rhode Island Reds and Two Buff Orpingtons!

I love them so much.

Late night McDonald's Americano order.

I took my moms dog, Layla, with me.

She's a very bug-eyed little chihuahua. And authentic one, my step dad says. She was over-stimulated to say the least, but it was probably because she knew she was gonna get a treat.

The line of traffic was INSANE Saturday night.

Here's my full moon night photography setup.

Love my remote shutter as well.

All my little lemon trees got some actual UV light for the first time this week.

They loved it.

I don't normally post pictures of the house, but I cleaned like crazy Thursday before the furniture people came.

It was just so organized and clean.

I had to share.

Here's a picture of my uncle that my aunt sent me after his knee replacement.

They put this weird wound suction thing on his leg that is normally only used for amputees. We all thought this was kinda strange.

Some packages we have been anxiously wanting for a long, long time.

My Chapin water bottle that I used to water my seedlings. This was an amazing gift from my aunt.

Night photography with an iPhone.

Not the best in a large scale, but very impressive.

You need a smidge of lighting to make it not so grainy.

My little lemon beauties.

All the chicks fast asleep while we cleaned their bedding.

All fresh and clean!

I'm now growing green onions that I've ingested.

Putting in the new stove.

I long for the days that we had a screen door.

This is one of the two dudes, super nice.

Beautiful blossoming tree at my bank in Piedmont.

The loading dock at the feed store in town. Had to get some more chick starter.

Country roads, take me home...

- Weekly iPhone Roundup {2.18 - 2.24}

 What an eventful week! So my aunt surprised us with 6 Easter Egger chicken over the weekend and they are the CUTEST! Then I made the mistake of calling Buchheit's Saturday and finding out that they had all kinds of baby chicks! I ended up getting 8 more chicks. I know, that's kind of a lot at once, but I couldn't help myself. 

I ended up getting 2 Barred Rock, 2 Dominique, 2 Polish Crested and last, but definitely not least... 2 Silkies!! We have a white little roo, so I got a white Silkie and a buff colored Silkie. Little known fact about me, Silkies are my favorite chickens in the world, so it tickled me to death to find baby Silkies. I wanted to take them all, no joke.

Then out of nowhere Tuesday evening, our white Polish Crested got very lethargic. She was just standing off to herself, not eating or drinking, just sleeping. I got her out and held her and fed her some chick started mixed with water. I would scrape a small amount on her beak until she would finally eat it. Then we dripped some sugar water on her beak, which she ended up drinking. It took a few hours for her to come around, but thank God she did. 

By the end of the night she was standing in the food and eating herself!

I guess that's all for now, here are the pics from the week (there's a lot):

McDonald's for the win Saturday night.

It was so dead in Perryville Sunday night, like more than usual.

Here are the beautiful little Easter Egger chicks!

I love them so much.

Here are the little chicks in their new home for the sex several weeks.

I unintentionally had 4 white cheddar items in my cart Monday. Definitely wasn't planned.

Canning jars galore at Buchheits!

Oh how I wanted every single one of these baby ducklings.

Here's the new additions.

I also grabbed a big pack of ammo from Walmart for our new .22 handguns that my mom and step dad got LaVaughn and myself for Christmas.

Here are all the little chicks together. It's hard to tell them apart in this pic.

The little black ones are the Barred Rock and Dominique. The grey and white is one of the Polish Crested, the other Polish and two Silkies are mixed in there somewhere.

Look how much my lemon sprouts are growing! I topped them off with more soil earlier this week, but I think they look amazin.

Here's our little white Polish Crested. She was so pitiful.

She also looks very hateful.

But she's a sweet little baby chick.

I went for a ride Wednesday to try and find a Bald Eagle that I saw on the drive home Monday. I didn't find it, unfortunately.

I drove down C highway, which is pictured here. There's always Bald Eagles in this location.
