Pet rocks are passé.
The trend now is painted rocks.
I found one in the landscaping of a church in Ada on Friday afternoon. It made my day.
As editor/reporter/photographer of the Ada Icon, it's my duty to keep an eye out for news, even underfoot. So, there it was, staring up at me with blue and gold lettering:
"FL 2017."
I picked it up, of course and have done a little Facebook research on painted rocks.
The reverse side of the smooth stone said:
"Facebook
# Titusville
Rocks"
