<p>Deep in the country is a little farm nestled between rolling hills in a yawning valley.&nbsp; It conjures up a time forgotten by progress and is abandoned by the ordinary.&nbsp; It is a place of friends, family, and unusual farmhands.&nbsp; The animals and plants converse, sing, and generally have a good time bringing the products of this magical place to market.&nbsp; Its pond is stocked, the orchard is ready for <em>harvest</em>, and a solitary pumpkin takes a nap by the fire.</p><p>The farm is run by Wilmuth and Gunther Marti, an old Swiss family who moved here long ago.&nbsp; It is a hidden family secret, but today&nbsp;there's revived excitement because Charlie, a young boy, has come to visit his Aunt and Uncle.&nbsp; He is new to farming and is tired from his travels.&nbsp; Love and kindness fill the air, but Charlie needs to rest, so he settles down by the fire.</p><p>Snap! Sparks spit from the crackling logs and the warm air tempers the cool autumn morning.&nbsp; He relaxes and takes a rhythmic breath, but the calm of the morning is shattered when he is greeted by a talking pumpkin!&nbsp;</p><p>It's the beginning of a new friendship and a great adventure that will send things flying!</p>
