City dwellers often idealize or romanticize something about rural life. It's the slower pace, the clear, blue skies, the lack of smog and streetlights, and the fact that everyone seems a little friendlier. Animals are like that too. City animals – cats, dogs, rats, insects, birds – they have a different essence to them. When you step out of the city and into nature, you're met with a unique sense of gentleness, wholesomeness, and innocence. There's a softer, more sensitive rhythm that shows you it's okay to be doing nothing. Progression and production aren't always the main purpose of the moment. It's not about rushing from one thing to another, or making the next big win, or deciding that you want to get more and more into the rat race. Animals do the same thing; they set the pace for the day and make us in tune to a different part of ourselves.

That's where weekend farm animals come in. They're the epitome of slowing down, of being in the moment, and of appreciating the little things. There's a natural peace about them. So as you scroll these weekend farm animals, invite yourself to find an inner peace, to let go of the stress or expectation of your life, and to just enjoy the moment that's offered in front of you.

When I was growing up, a friend of mine lived on a farm. Well, it wasn't a full farm-farm, but she did have 2 acres. Her family had horses, goats, chickens, bunnies, and the cat inside. It was such a magical time for me. I felt like I was in my own fairytale when I went to her house. We had so much space to roam about and wander; a pool with a waterfall, rolling hills all around us. When you're a kid, having access to animals that aren't necessarily domesticated is so special in its own way.
