I envision about 200 years from now that some archaeology student is going to wander onto the farm and accidentally find the old cistern and think they have found an archaeological treasure trove. We have been dumping all sorts of things in there to fill it up - rocks, an old tractor tire that Pat cut up today (tires are hard to get rid of-you can't take them to the city land fill and it is illegal to burn them), three old computers and a monitor, a big old heavy iron implement of unknown use or vintage and this afternoon to top it off - the approximately 50 jars of preserved vegetables and fruit that had been in the cellar since the late 1950's. The jars were truly gross; only a microbiologist could have found them interesting.

Eeeeew. Did you take a picture of the jars or open any of them up? And how is the cellar doing--still wet? When Daddy told me on the phone this afternoon that you'd gotten rid of some jars, he said they were in the basement, not the cellar.
