Echoes of Remembrance

In memory of that fateful day,

When tragedy struck in a devastating way,

September 11, a date etched in time,

A moment that changed the course of our prime.

Twin towers stood, proud and tall,

Symbols of hope, for one and all,

But in an instant, they came crashing down,

Leaving rubble, and a sorrowful town.

Lives lost, dreams shattered, hearts broken,

Families torn, futures unspoken,

The brave first responders, who rushed to the scene,

Risking all, to save those unseen.

The flames that engulfed, the smoke that did rise,

The ashes that fell, from the clear blue skies,

The world watched in horror, as the towers did sway,

And in their collapse, a piece of us did stray.

But even in death, there’s a story to tell,

Of courage, love, and a spirit that dwells,

In the hearts of those, who perished that day,

Their memories live on, never fade away.

May we honor them, and the sacrifices made,

May we strive for peace, and a world not afraid,

May the lessons of 9/11, forever be told,

And in our hearts, may love and hope never grow old.

Announcing a New Seed Library!

Did you know that the Buna library now has a "Seed Library"? Bring your own seeds to add to our collection, or take some home to plant in your garden!

This seed library was generously donated by DR Farms. Bring seeds noting the kind, that you don’t need to the library or DR Farms. Then they will bring them to us!

 

Right now we currently have seeds in the library for a fall garden. This includes mustard greens, green beans, squash, etc.

 

Don’t know the first thing about gardening? That’s ok, we have gardening books!
