This Aug. 24, 2017 photo, some of the rocks painted by Dee Dee Beard and Misty Mitchell at Mitchell's home in Springfield, Ill. Mitchell helped develop a painted rock community that's organized on Facebook: "Springfield IL Rocks." The painted rock community is part of a movement sweeping the nation of communities forming rock-painting groups to brighten strangers' days by painting rocks, hiding rocks and hunting for rocks painted by other people. "If we can just put a little bit of kindness and happiness out there, it don't hurt," Mitchell says. (Rich Saal/The State Journal-Register via AP)
