Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for May 23, 2013

And so is written… a place in Nancy’s heart, for Sluggo….

Don’t pick wild flowers!

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I like to press wild flowers…(Lumberjack song)

Lynnskay; I left you a comment on yesterday’s strip.

LOVE Nancy’s reaction…..

Nancy is so pleased, Sluggo has got a kind heart.

Oops! And now they’re dead. Sorry, flowers!

Only if you don’t use up someone else’s air.

So, then…. should… EVERY… tree and vine and flora and fauna should be allowed to grow, to outgrow everything and everyone, including animals and man? And what about the grains and trees and vegetation that puts food on our plate? Should we not pick them? What about the medicines that come from them? Our bedsheets? Our clothes?-There seems to be good reason why there’s winds in place to shift landscapes, and why picking flowers in reasonable amounts is a part of the balance that keeps our planet in order… why there’s wildfires, both natural and man made (the controlled, legal kind, mind you…) and though not everyone may put faith in it, and this is JUST to give a reference and prove this point, but even the Bible has instances that show that these things are okay, including the picking of flowers….===(Gen. 1:28-30; Matt. 6: 28-30)

So say DeSylva, Brown and Henderson. And if you don’t know who they are, you should. Each is in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

in the Provinces of Canada the national wild flower of that flower is protected It is illegal to harm that flower in any wayIs it the same in the USA

Now, you know that not everybody would do that at once, LET ALONE think about it…. -incidentally, there are billions of microscopic critters… I’d dare to venture that there are as many individual flowers (talking individual ones, not number of species) as this, well, lets say countless….

“Continue searching the internet, ask Canadians why?”

^Not sure you’re saying this as a question….. but…. I asked a Canadian about their laws, same way a Canadian asked about US laws…—…. and if no response (not counting anybody else being wise guy of course), then my actual physical reference books will suffice… although the internet is around….

I like to think that the bees already got the pollen from those flowers and are already on their way to the other wild flowers.

This was alexmailer’s comment:in the Provinces of Canada the national wild flower of that flower is protected It is illegal to harm that flower in any wayIs it the same in the USA====I would’ve asked, but you weren’t commenting yet, and this commenter never got back… so I was asking if it had to do with the reasons I suggested, including if it was because of having to do with representing Canadian emblems…
