DAFFODIL PLANTING - Remembrance of 9/11/01 by a Community in New York


There is no more fitting to place to honor and remember those that were lost than in a garden....

it reminds us that 
life goes on, in all Nature's wondrous 
forms...



I Heard an Angel

by William Blake

I heard an Angel singing

When the day was springing,

"Mercy, Pity, Peace

Is the world's release."
 
 
Eleven years ago I suggested to my village, Croton on Hudson, NY, that we plant daffodils to commemorate those who perished on September 11, 2001. 


And so every year the people of Croton of all ages come out and plant daffodils in public areas

  2. I agree ! The Village of Croton on Hudson is a wonderful place to live and - since we are a 'commuter' town to NYC - we were very affected by the 9/11 tragedy.
