When I spot a mantis in my garden, it makes me feel like I'm getting payback for keeping chemicals out - makes the spots on the leaves a little easier to bear, and lets me look at the bad bugs in a different light. Pollyanna? Maybe, but these giant predator insects sure are awesome creatures.

Hi Jaybird! I'm sorry - I've never come across a concealer that looked good either. But I don't agree with your doc that the spots won't fade. Spots do fade in general, and you can help them along with a good fading cream. Estee Lauder WhiteLights FX line is good - pricey but each item lasts a long time. I like the night cream.

WOW! I looked at all of your pics. I love your porch. I started to say I especially liked a shot, but stopped because I especially liked something in every shot! You have more decorations than I will be having this year. Everything looks great. Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of the season. Or you can do like us and keep on shopping and adding through the whole season! I've just about got my tree the way I want it and just realized I had bought the greenery to do my mantle swag after Christmas last year and haven't bought the first thing to decorate it with!! Your's is very nice, BTW. Wish I was finished. Betty

Here's the basic recipe, but I use my food processor instead of a blender. In the old days, I used a wire whisk. Mayo 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice 1 cup salad oil Break egg into blender container. Add mustard, salt and vinegar. Add 1/4 cup of the oil. Cover and blend on low speed. Immediately uncover and add remaining oil in a steady stream. Makes 1 1/4 cup.
