Down on the Farm

We are back to the bus tour at the 2021 NPTC convention. After leaving Fort Washington, we drove to the nearby Oxon Hill Farm. The parking lot is a bit of a distance from the farm, so they set up the stamping table at the end of the parking lot, in case anyone didn't feel like making the walk. But Mel and I did walk over to see the animals. Several cows were in the field, and again, there were a plethora of chickens roaming around. They don't seem to be afraid of people at all and think we are all going to feed them because they roam around our ankles the whole time. It was pretty hot that day, so mostly I sat at a table in the shade and talked to some of my park friends. It was a lovely, peaceful stop.

This layout is loosely based on this pin that I saved. I pulled my Farm stash from the shelves and found that I had a portion of the fence border with the chicken on it. Additionally, I had die cuts left from other kits and old CM that included the chicken on the title square. I strung all of that along the bottom of two papers that had red tones (one was supposed to be a barn wall — can you tell there's a window in the middle?). Layering the photos and Unigrid was pretty simple once the borders were done. There is journaling in a peekaboo pocket that sits on top of the chicken photo.
