These are some cool pictures from my day last week working on the farm. My mom came up to Chesaning and with Reese's help, we took all the old canned goods out of the basement. I love the fences and the field stone foundations around the barns and the house.
I was really happy with our view of the neighborhood. I think the price has dropped by almost 10 more cents. Yeah!
Above are the jars we are saving. They were the true canning jars of the bunch. The green or blue glass is my favorite and I don't think you can get them any more. Please note the retro wallpaper in the back. Funk-a-dellic.
These were the only 2 jars we couldn't open. As you can see, the contents are gross. To the left is a jar of pears. Pears! They don't end up that color unless they really, really stink people. shudder. By far the sauerkraut was the worst. Hands down. I may have left the room when that baby was opened. Weak stomach.
These two pictures are of the jars we sent to the recycling pile. They were mayonnaise jars, Taster's Choice jars, and anything that thrifty canning queen could get her hands on.
Reese was such a ham! He would dump each jar in the bucket and yell, "Is that gross Mom? Come on, smell it? Don't you love it?"
This is a shot of our "renters" in the barn. They are keeping an eye on us and not quite sure why we have brought 3 noisy animals into their world. Sorry guys, if you think it's bad now, wait until Joe fixes that window.

Hmm, I think I recall you saying that you weren't going to touch those nasty jars =). They look beautiful all cleaned up.
What did you use to clean those jars? Hydrochloric acid?
Is it wrong that this is possibly my favorite Greenfelder Central post of all time? Gross + cute kid + happy ending.
Isn't life on the farm grand? Maybe you'll get lucky and find the shoe box full of money in one of the walls when you remodel. Or you could be like us and find rodent skeletons, really old ones.
Can't wait to see what crafty project you do with the jars.
