Starting with some art…
Anyone else like gardening? I personally do not have a green thumb, most of what I plant dies. That is unless I plant something that is idiot proof and unable to die. Though even so I do enjoy plants and gardening when the weather is nice.
While it is still very cold where I live and by no means is it a good time to start planting things. I hope you all have your gardens planned and ready for the good weather to come as spring approaches.
Also, from one really bad gardener to hopefully those who are a lot better at it, do you have any suggestions on what I should plant that might be easy for a bad gardener to keep alive?
Now to the Good News…
Bob Moore, Founder of Bob’s Red Mill, Has Died, Leaving His Company to Its Employees
We need to champion companies that do good in the world. Owners who don’t only think about themselves. Bob Moore wanted his company to take care of his employees, he wanted to share the wealth he made with his company of oats, flours, and snacks galore. We hear of companies that really want to try to give back and to leave the Bob’s Red Mill to the people who helped build, work and maintain it is just an amazing way to take care of the people who worked for and with you for over 50 years. With Bob Moore’s passing the company, which he started transferring over to his employees in 2010, is now completely owned by his more than 700 employees. He strongly believed I the need for fairness and it shows in the legacy he leaves behind.
Greece is the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex marriage
In a huge watershed type moment, Love Wins! Greece just became the first Orthodox country to pass a law allowing same sex marriage. As the country that created the democracy and republics that many countries use as their legislative models today this is a huge win for the power of the people. The Prime Minster even defied his own political party to herald in the new law. In a world where many countries are built on democracy and the will of the people it is comforting and reassuring to see votes that promote people being allowed to live their lives and love whomever they want.
