Falmouth resident and grade school art teacher Karyn H. Phares paints bright red plump hearts on various sized rocks and under the cover of night places them around town. It started at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to bring joy, especially during a time of uncertainty and adversity. She began by painting hearts on rocks and leaving them in her front yard in North Falmouth for passersby to take or simply admire. She also delivers the rocks to locations around Falmouth and has enlisted her family to help.
A year later, over 700 rocks have been distributed around town and also now sit in public locations such as Main Streetâs Peg Noonan Park, near the Falmouth Village Green, in front of the high school, Mullen-Hall and Lawrence schools. There is a tree stump near the entrance of the Main Street branch of the post office adorned with a large heart, as well.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm easily amused. But I think anyone who knows about the Kindness Rocks Project will smile, too. I remember hearing about the 318 Painted Rock Hunt before the pandemic, but now, I think we need a little sunshine like this in our lives more than ever before!

For Jacqueline Borkowski, it seemed like an amazing way to honour her daughter Isabelle s short but beautiful and creative life. One of the activities that Isabelle enjoyed both before and after she got sick was doing crafts including painting, especially rocks, Borkowski tells blogTO.
Isabelle died of a kind of brain cancer known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG, last December at the age of 4.
