During my lunch break, I decided to head over to the town of Plainfield (villages of Plainfield, East Plainfield and Meriden) because I'd seen online that they had a tradition of decorating their yards with "Pumpkin People." I made some a stop in West Lebanon (for computer repairs) and then drove south on NH-12A. It was rainy and miserable but I found a few of the pumpkin themed decorations that residents added to their yards. I didn't see a lot in the village of Plainfield, although there was a clever one that paid homage to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I decided to try to find some other displays to the east, so I headed back to the north. As I was about to turn on to a side road, I got pulled over by the local police department for speeding. I hadn't realized I was, or what the speeding limit even was - fortunately, the officer was merciful and warned me to be careful. He then recommended some good locations for me to find more Pumpkin People. I drove over to Meriden on Stage Road and followed the policeman's recommendations - there were so many good ones! It was hard to find places where I could pull over for photos but I ended up with come good pictures in the end. I checked out the village of East Plainfield too - it appeared that people decorated as far north as the Lebanon town line. I used NH-120 to get back to my condo and resumed my telework. It was a fun trip!
