I guess its not so much as a BIG update in quality but more like quantity!
Lets see...my horse is away at school. Doing FANTASTIC and I get to bring him home soon. We will being training for endurance next year. Doing a lot of trail work and getting fit. I am very excited about this. I have ridden him twice now and our second ride was a trail ride with my sister. She was very concerned about how Waylon would act but he was better than her seasoned trail horse!
We rode over logs, trenches, puddles, branches on the ground. He didn't even mind getting smacked in the face by a branch accidentally. We also clipped his legs and his face a bit. He was perfect for that as well. I am so proud of my "crazy green Arab mutt". I am 100% happy with him and I can't wait to bring him home!
We have a ton of rabbit babies growing as well. I purchased a VERY handsome Standard Rex, in solid Castor color. He is simply gorgeous and I can't wait to see what he produces! He had a bit of sore hock when he arrived but he is fine now and I have some does bred to him that are due soon!
I also have a broody hen. My first home grown hen is ready to have her own babies! She is sitting on 9 eggs that were laid by my EE's. There were 10 but I broke one. I candled them last night and 7 of the 9 are developing.. I also have another broody, one of my trusty "Cuckoo Marans" that was broody twice last year seems to have taken to sitting on some eggs. We will see if she stays and I will candle them next week.
We also have a second horse now. We traded our tractor for him. He is off of a cattle ranch a few hours away. big 16 hand flea bitten grey gelding. We renamed him Rooster and he is my husbands horse. The only thing I don't like about him is he has tiny feet.
We have also been doing a bit of "spring cleaning" around here. I have sold SO MANY things and vehicles that were just going to waste. Our place looks much better now and less like a trailer park. I have also started remodeling the barn to make a large run in for the horses. I absolutely despise our barn but I have to make it work for me one way or another. More to come on that subject!

My husband and I processed 42 rabbits on sunday. Took about 3 hours. I am tanning the hides for a big blanket I have planned.

Well, I got a new job! The clinic I was working at was just such a toxic environment. The managers are their own worst enemy. I am trying to pick between two different clinics. I have friends that work at either one and I love both places.
We are buying a new car, well preowned car. We sold our Ford F350, going to save and buy a newer dodge in a few months. I'm kind of freaking out not having a truck to tow the horse trailer, ya know, just in case! So we are taking my parents 1991 F250 off their hands and parking it here to use it if the time comes and we need to haul. Its not ideal, the truck is hideous but its better than nothing. My husbands credit is kind of screwed up due to buying toys before I met him. Its not a bad score, just too much debit to income ratio. We have been steadily working on improving it and making leaps and bounds. I have no credit, by choice but it seems I need to build some so we got me a teeny little credit card to use for gas, to build my credit. I really hate money. I'd rather barter for things I need. We are really sad to sell the F350 but we were going to do it anyway when we bought a new Dodge. This is just forcing us to grow up and not get attached to vehicles.
Anyway, my new commuter car is a Toyota Matrix. I wanted something with 4 doors and specifically geared towards hauling our many dogs around and keeping it cleaner with them. I love how the cargo area and the back of the rear seats is plastic! Its perfect for keeping it cleaner with the dogs and still a decent commuter.

Things have been busy! I'm working full time monday - friday. We took a week off and went deer hunting for 9 days, didn't get anything LOL Except for a cool shed antler.
Harvested some honey from the hive. Its delicious!
I recently got two rex does. A broken castor and a solid blue.
