The Gothic Homesteader

This year, my husband, Robby and I are celebrating Halloween Addams Family style, in that we are having a marathon of the 1960's Addams Family (on DVD) and the 1990s Addams Family Movies (also on DVD).  I made us Bat Cookies, we have Barq's Root Beer, which has Licorice in it.  I found Black Cat Peeps, my favorite as they too are Licorice flavored.  And I got us a large bag of Purple Caramel Pop Corn just for tonight.  This is such a treat, an evening all to our selves.  Rain pouring down outside... so dark and gloomy! Twas Halloween Evening " Twas Halloween Evening and through the abode,  not a creature is stirring, not even a toad.   Jack-o-lanterns are hung from the gallows with care,  to guide sister witch as she guilds through the air, dawn by 8 beautiful bat.  And she calls to them,  'Come Flitter! Come, Flutter! Come, Flapper and Flyer! Come, Chitter!  Come, Chatter!  Come, viscous Vampire!...

In honor of this fine Halloween Season, I felt it only fitting to share with my fellow Gothic Homesteaders the delightful list of pumpkins and squash I have found while hunting for Black Plants and other Gothic Plants.  While the traditional orange pumpkins and normal squash are wonderful, I felt these deserved a nod and some attention as well!
