Lil'Bit's Family Farm

Welcome to the ranch Magpie!

Sometimes our unicorn Shirley just needs to run errands and brighten people's days

That moment you stick your hand in your Carhartt pocket and realize you forgot you stuck an egg in there....slimy....

Then...play I-Spy with all the random stuff that comes out of a country Carhartt.

Morning sunshine siesta time!

Trying different (animal safe) washable color mixtures on Miss Shirley the Wonder Pony for her transformations into Shirley the Wonder Unicorn!

Happy Castration Day to these big boys! Brain surgery! 😉 Bye bye balls!

Today was amazing, seeing how just a little unicorn magic can go a long long way!

LONG post ahead!

I was helping out with school picture retakes, there was a sweet 3rd grader that was so scared to have her picture taken, panic attack, tears and just so worked up. Every picture day this happens, she had yet to EVER get her school picture taken because of this.

Today her friends were surrounding her, supporting her and encouraging her. It was so sweet. She was still so scared. To get her mind distracted some I told her I have a unicorn and asked her of she would like to see it, so I showed her a picture of Lil'Bit's pony, Shirley the Wonder Pony, dressed up as a unicorn. Her eyes lit up and the tears stopped briefly. I asked her if she would like to meet the unicorn after school if she could be brave and at least try to have her picture taken. She finally agreed to try, said she was still scared. I told her it's OK to be scared, and that I was sure t he unicorn was sending her magic to help, because unicorns know when kids are nervous and scared and they send their magic to them, and I KNEW that the unicorn was sending her some magic right then. She actually went over and had her picture taken, her friends kneeling down out of of frame, holding her hand and encouraging her. She took a beautiful picture the photographe even showed her it. I told her promised I'd bring the unicorn after school. She was able to take her very FIRST school picture!

I went home, grabbed Shirley, turned her into a sparkly colorful unicorn, and had her on the grass in front of the school. The girl saw her, came running over and asked me if she could pet her. She was full of HUGE smiles, loved o . Shirley, gave me a HUGE hug, thanked me for bringing the unicorn and said she KNEW the unicorn had helped her, then gave me another big hug. It totally brought tears to my eyes, and have tears as I write this. It is amazing what the support of friends and a little unicorn magic can do.

Day old Guinea keets! Let's talk about them.
