July 21, 2015. Western Head, N.S. Painting Rocks.

Not one of The 8 Dickie Chicks mentioned painting rocks.  They are ages 14 to 18.  But Molly is 7 and this morning after breakfast, she asked to paint the rocks, so Christina took the paints and brushes and shirts down to the shore.  We had installed a type of sea wall along the shore to prevent erosion, and the rocks are huge.  It has been a tradition to paint those rocks.

First Molly painted.  After about thirty minutes Samantha and Allison joined in the fun, of course each one selecting a different rock.  By the end of the day, every girl had painted a rock.  Now we have the fanciest rocks on the shore, at least until the rains come down and wash away the paint.  The painting of rocks is a long tradition and clearly is still alive and well.
