rock painting

We have been picking up rocks everywhere this summer.  Michigan beach, Colorado mountains, Kanopolis campground, at the park, walks, church, backyard....And bringing them home to paint. 



They are super into it, and will stick to it for a long time.




They seem more into doing it, and doing it well, than hanging on tightly to the finished products.  Win-win for me because we spend a hearty length of time on something fun and I don't have to find a place among all the other junk around here to keep them!  Well, ok...not junk junk...but you know what I mean.


Every time she falls in love with a new rock and gives it her attention, I'm reminded of her namesake.  Evelyn collected rocks, loved them well, and knew their stories.  My Evelyn does too!
