Toxic plants(?) in Franklin Park

I was wandering around the perimeter of the park with my kids and noticed these cute white flowers blooming by one of the benches. I picked one, took a picture of it to identify it, and I'm pretty sure it's Lily of the Valley. It turns out all parts of the plant are toxic to animals and humans and can be fatal to children if ingested. It looks like they're spilling through the fence from someone's yard over by the swings/sandbox.

I was with my kids and didn't have any gloves or anything so I didn't attempt to remove them, but I wanted to make people aware since this is a popular park for kiddos.

Experience with Rose Quartz

I bought my first rose quartz point pendant to help with self compassion and have been enjoying wearing it but have noticed a few things that I'm curious if others also experience.

Sometimes the stone feels heavier on my chest than other times and sometimes it feels very light. Anyone know why this might be?
Does the effect of a crystal build over the course of a day? Occasionally after wearing it all day I start to get overly sentimental in the evening (starting crying just observing my children playing or crying seeing my older parents wave goodbye to me for the day). Things that can/should be associated with love but I feel like the rose quartz tips me over the edge emotionally.

Anyone else experience this too?
