The pumpkin whisperer

I love October. I realize it is November now and I do like this month too, but I love October. It is like one big family month, what with the pumpkin patches, hayrides, haunted houses, leaves for jumping, trick-or-treating, you know what I mean. I tend to start coming up with all sorts of things that we need to do with the kids, mostly because I really like doing these things and it looks better when you bring your kids with you. Last year I think I made everyone go to the pumpkin patch five times. This year we only went twice but somehow we ended up with about fifteen pumpkins on the front porch. When we went to the first pumpkin patch we noticed something strange about Cybele. I think she is a pumpkin whisperer.

The other kids get in the pumpkin patch and they start running around, tripping over pumpkin vines trying to find the perfect pumpkin. Cybele gets very quiet and very serious. She approaches each pumpkin with caution and she lays her hands on it. Then she leans in like this and she listens.

I don't know what she hears, but it must be something cause my girl was listening to those pumpkins and she is no dummy.
