{weekend zest} because weekends are for taking it slow

don't we all need a reminder ... taken with my iPhone while out walking yesterday

So I’m a little later than usual with this weekend’s zesty wrap-up of the week. But I promise I have a good reason.

Yesterday I slowed down.

I hopped off the deadline merry-go-round anyway. It was a busy enough day. We had a big sports carnival for the small ones that took up a sizeable chunk of the day, and afterwards, we got out and enjoyed what was the most glorious sunny end-of-winter kind of day with a ride, scooter, walk while I scoped out a photography spot I had been eyeing off for weeks. It was next to a bike path so while the small ones and Hubby got on their wheels and rode up and down, I walked, and squatted, and stopped to take photos.

I was so glad to take that time and just be, enjoy the day, the time, the family. And right at the end I saw this sign.

Because we all need that reminder every once in a while.

So put  your feet up, grab a cuppa, and slow down. Find some great reading right here.
