Special Joy not GERMS – done in chalk on the Centennial Trail
Sylvia and Pat Lennon walk daily on either the Centennial Path or waterfront at Spencer Smith Park.
They sent us a note saying “they just returned from our walk and wanted to tell everyone about the section on the Centennial trail beginning at Martha street and were delighted to find between Delaware and Guelph Line some really colourful rocks that lined each side of the path.
Were they done by children who found something interesting to do now that the schools are closed?
Each of the rocks had a message – usually uplifting.
There was also a chalk message with beautiful script.
The photos are a delight. Have a look. Wish we knew who did these. Can anyone add to this delightful story?
The Gazette has learned that friends of the people who sent us the pictures “discovered painted rocks along the Beach Boulevard path today about a half mile beyond the Canal Lift Bridge. Little rock fairies were hard at work planting their inspirational messages. Another surprise was that Harry’s Pub on the Beach had takeout! After our walk, we ordered delicious cheeseburgers and fries to take home. What an uplifting day!”
So happy this made a headline and wow, our friends ,Bob and Marilyn had the same experience on Beach Blvd,,,Someone commented it was “angels” who did it and I concur…an awesome gesture! Sylvia Lennon
Thank you for sharing an uplifting story.
We are friends of Sylvia and Pat Lennon. Similarly, we discovered painted rocks along the Beach Boulevard path today about a half mile beyond the Canal Lift Bridge. Little rock fairies were hard at work planting their inspirational messages. Another surprise was that Harry’s Pub on the Beach had takeout! After our walk, we ordered delicious cheeseburgers and fries to take home. What an uplifting day!
