Photo Contest #1 with Bonus QR Code

Guess What This Is -- 

Win $25.00 Right Now!

The first person to accurately guess what this plant is will win a $25.00 store gift certificate. This certificate will be good at both our Peoria and Normal, IL stores.

It's a plant that grows perenially in our square herb garden, as we call it. (We have so many gardens, we give them simple, caveman names.) It starts as a fern, then those yellow blossoms appear in late summer/early autumn. The ferns, especially now, have a strong, semi-sweet, pungent woodsy fragrance, similar to mothballs in intensity. It's not a bad smell, but it's not floral or delicate.

If you think you know what it is, post a comment, or send an email to Steven Streight at:

Goose Lake Vacation Photos

Vacation fishing at Goose Lake, Ontario, Canada.
No fish fries, it's a catch and release.
But our group of 5
caught over 2,000 fish.

We drove 1,000 miles North
as far as we could,
then flew the last
65 miles because
there are no roads up there.

Our pilot and the 1940s
aeroplane that took
us to Canada.

Five of my church buddies and I,
we go to Goose Lake about every 2 years.

The journey begins.

A view from inside the plane.

First class seat.

Canada on the horizon.

Twilight descends on Goose Lake.

Another aircraft near the shore.

The greens and blues of Goose Lake.

The commander's compound
at Loon Haunt Outpost.

Nearing the waterfall.

Rich warm wood interior
where meals materialize.

Goose Lake crepuscular with pines.

Our lake-worthy vessel
the Misty River.

Dining and writing room.

Cooking in the cozy log cabin.

Blue ripples as water flows.

A perfectly fine fish.

Preparing to leave after 7 days of bliss.

Goodbye Goose Lake, until next time.
