On our recent road trip south, we stopped briefly in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. And stayed a night in a village in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Intercourse. Apart from the name, the village was notable in that it was the one place on my summer road trip that I encountered clear signs of Halloween. Several shops even had jack-o-lantern creations displayed prominently out front. Mostly of the shiny, happy, smiley variety. But jack-o-lanterns nonetheless.

I found this iron pumpkin-shaped candle-holder in a shop on Main Street. And I gave in and purchased a happy, smiley carving of an Amish pumpkin-headed guy. I couldn't resist.
