It's Election Day and it looks like he's also getting ready for Thanksgiving. The pilgrims are up and so is the turkey. Also, a tee pee.

This is one of the more serious lawn displays. It's tough to see, but the American flags are back up and the text reads "All Saints Day Father". It's not exactly the same as last year, which featured plywood angels, but the point is quite clear. His father is a veteran and deceased. Kind of gutsy to throw that out there on your lawn like that, no matter how supportive or loving of a son you are.

Finally Halloween has the yard to itself. It's a little disappointing that the decorations have remained so sparse for such a major holiday, but I guess Halloween isn't a favorite over there. Since there was really no change from the 23-31, I'll leave it as one post, but there are some subtle changes in wording. On Oct. 30 the main text in the lawn read "Halloween Eve" and on the 31st it said "Happy Halloween" (of course). Both are pictured below.

I thought we were going to be Halloween all the way through the end of October, but here's a surprise. The American flags are back up except this time it reads "At Norristown Public Library / Holland Job Fair" with a small white cardboard sign giving the date and time (Oct. 23, 1pm) and a countdown. This reminds me a lot of the "Something Big Coming" stuff from this spring. Holland is his last name, so I assume he's sponsoring this job fair somehow. Altogether very confusing. I briefly thought about going to it just to see what it was like, but other plans came up. Probably for the better.

Columbus Day has arrived without much fanfare, but we do get the Happy Columbus Day message. It's a little difficult to see in the dark, but I promise it's there in front of the castle and the pirates.

I included Oct. 12 in this post because it was sort of a turnaround day. The Columbus Day stuff came down, but nothing was put up in its place. Not for long...
