Change is good, right?

 

The conservatory is closed for a 10 million dollar renovation and won't reopen until next year. It makes me so sad because I especially love being there in the winter months. They are replacing the glass in the dome and I don't know what else. I wish that at least the garden outside of the conservatory was open ...it's really beautiful.

 The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon Towers also needs work....the carillon is not working and the area around the tower is in a real mess. I'm sure that this treasure will eventually be restored.

Globe Thistle 

What beautiful color!
