Janel Maurer Asked Quotations

One parent asked me if we ever needed someone to pick up sticks. I said sure and they sent their son to help out around the farm. Then the apples were ready. Soon two more boys were there to help get the ladders out and pick the apples. Then something was ready in the garden and we decided to start canning and eventually decided to enter the Clay County Fair.

I had never canned jams and jellies so we tried that. This year we are going to add jalapeno pepper jelly and canned squirrel. The canned squirrel was Smokey's idea. We asked the Fair Board to add it to the list of acceptable items and they did.
