Who says you can’t go home?

This past weekend I made my first trek back ‘home’ to Ohio since I moved to Nashville. Before I moved, one of my mentors told me that I shouldn’t go back to Ohio the first month after I moved.

My last day in town we headed to Glen Helen Nature Preserve. Voila, I give you the ~~orange~~ yellow spring. Due to the iron content in the water, the rocks are stained a vivid orange/yellow hue.

The Glen is beautiful, and I can’t believe I went so long without actually seeing it. We ventured there right before I needed to head back to Nashville, so while I didn’t see much, what I did see was spectacular.

Afterwards we grabbed a little lunch snack at Current Cuisine, a cute deli/gourmet grocery in the heart of Yellow Springs. It was the perfect end to a much too short trip home.
