West Coast (specifically Myrtle Creek) Painted Rocks



Last year I found this rock out by the mailbox. 

Jenna has kept it in her collection all this time. 


On the back of the rock are instructions to post #WCPR (west coast painted rocks) which and has been on a mission to paint and hide rocks herself.  We had placed a quarter (coin) in the picture to show the size of the rocks. These are the ones which we plan to hide today after church


But first, she decided to put her "Alien" painted rock next to the mailbox where we had found the first


As Jenna grabbed each rock, she thought about places she could hide them that would be unique to the area. 

            She'd like to hide the candy corn near a business as Halloween is coming up and would be a reminder to all businesses to buy their candy.


            She wants to put the jack-o-lantern near a house because Halloween is coming up and will remind homeowner to decorate



           She wants to put the footprint on the trail



            And the gingerbread house (which she has decided to give up)


leaning against a tree because it reminds her of a "fairy garden" we used to visit near a tree. The eggplant


near a men's restroom as a joke as because guys "plant their seeds in the egg" in order to grow a child.  She thought it fitting to have something outside the women's restroom as well and chose one of only three rocks which I painted



Thought hard about where to place the thumb or toe (however you look at it)


before deciding on the children's playground as a reminder for the "thumbkin" song we had both learned as children.

She has also decided to hide what I thought looked like a whale, but she says it is the yin of the yin-yang circle.






She says she'd like to hide it on a white background.
