Yesterday was quiet.
Still.
I had just finished reformatting my very first e-book,
the one that started everything. I didn’t change much, just softened it visually, made it feel more like me again. A small act, but somehow it felt like reclaiming the beginning. I also cave it a whole new book cover.
With a little light left in the day, I grabbed Luna’s leash. That’s all she needed, no words, just instinct. She was at my heel in seconds.
We climbed into the Honda, just the two of us, and headed out.
Roughly thirty-five minutes to Dublin. It’s one of those drives that doesn’t feel long if your heart is quiet enough.
Stop One Indian Falls- Dublin, Ohio
We hit Indian Falls first.
It’s not huge, but I’ve been wanting to check it out, so it felt like a good place to start.
We did the little loop around. Luna sniffing everything like it was her first time outside in her life. Of course, I had to let her get in the water for a second. Which meant, obviously, photos were required. Wet dog, sunshine, that kind of magic. Her joy’s contagious.
Stop Two: Hayden Falls Dublin, Ohio
After that, we drove maybe four minutes down the road to Hayden Falls.
This spot didn’t have any of those “no swimming” signs, so people were actually in the water this time. Wading in. Laughing. It looked inviting. Like, deeply inviting.
Had I dressed for it, I probably would’ve been in there too.
Next time, I will.
Say it. Don’t spray it.
