Cacti is the Latin plural of cactus, and some writers use it in English. Cactuses is the English plural. Dictionaries list both, and neither is right or wrong. Also, like many names of plants, the uninflected cactus is sometimes treated as plural.
fun making these – I wonder if they will be liked by customers at craft sales – time will tell.
I misplaced my keys more than a week ago; I am not finding them – it’s strange – hopefully they will show up somewhere or other. In the meantime, I am in getting-rid-of-stuff mode. I bought this cute wreath (on the left) 90% off at a thrift store and thought I’d replicate it, but they are both going to the thrift store.
I’m happy to see good changes come about in our nation – yay
I’ve seen pictures of people who try to copy something on pinterest. Here is mine.
I am attempting to know the Hebrew pronouns – I thought this was a good visual:
I read this morning in Dale Gentry’s Breakout Prayer Network this prayer: (I was interested in learning more about the 2nd awakening and found the video posted below the prayer – how the law enforcement was laid off in Buffalo, NY because of no need of them – amazing!)
Dear Father God………….we pray for the city of Chicago and other major cities in America who are experiencing murders and violence…………the Windy City experiencing 39 people shot and 10 dead just over this past holiday weekend…………….we pray for revival on the streets of this nation…………knowing only you Almighty God can make America great again………..may we rehearse happenings during the 2nd Spiritual Awakening when the city of Rochester had to lay off all of its police officers because there was no need for law enforcement…………..believing today that history will repeat itself as we experience an answer to the many prayers we have prayed concerning revival in America, another spiritual awakening…………as the inauguration of our 45th president nears……….. amidst reports of protests and violence in our nations capitol………….we pray your hedge of protection around those attending while thousands of bikers make there way to DC……..declaring they will form a wall of meat around those who are coming to enjoy the festivities………we pray for Donald Trump as he prepares his Inauguration Day speech……………we pray for wisdom and guidance concerning his words…………..we ask these things in Jesus name……….amen.

Christmas is quite over, but here are some really cute tree ornaments.

65 degrees – time to plant some garlic 🙂
and trim invasive honeysuckle
I redid my pineapple painting from last night’s class. I think I like the purple better. Mine is 3rd from the left on the back row.
These airplanes are so cute – I wonder if I can make 101 of them for our veterans hospital. It’s worth a try !
found a great recipe from creative Jewish mom that doesn’t use any culture, only salt. I make sauerkraut with only salt but this one can be used with any veggies !
cut peeled sliced veggies
3 T salt (sea, pickling, kosher) per quart of water (can use less for sauerkraut)
1 clove garlic
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. coriander seeds
1/2 tsp. black peppercorns
1/2 c. fresh dill (optional)
Fill jar by layering spices & cut pieces of veggies. Pack down as much as possible.
Use a measuring cup to fill jar with water leaving at least 1 inch of jar that isn’t filled.
Cover tightly & let stand at room temp. After a day or 2 or 3 once a day open the jar to release gasses. Mold or scum can be skimmed off. Brownish water is normal.
When they taste like you want (5 days to a week & a half) put in frig. they will continue to ferment but slower. They will last at least a month or longer.
I have carrots, broccoli and cabbage in my jars.
and snow 🙂
