Around the property of Duke Manor Farm there are no shortage of leaves once the Fall winds come in and blow them down from the trees. We have a fall tradition with the kids where we just blow the leaves into an area for a few weeks and then have a gigantic pile to throw,…
Welcome to day two of the Bloggers Seasonal Harvest Tour hosted by Brenda at Cozy Little House. If you are visiting from Debbie’s, isn’t her DIY lazy susan amazing? And if you are visiting Duke Manor Farm for the first time, welcome. I am happy to have you here. You can catch up on my real life funny farm here. Ready for some…
Thanks for joining me for Tea time Friday. Not to sound all Debbie Downer on you, but what the heck is going on in this world? Bombs,, scandals, shootings. My heart goes out to everyone who experienced tragedy and loss this week. It’s a scary world we live in filled with more hatred then we…
This is one of my favorite spots in the house. I feel like I am in a 5 star Tree house…with my tea…in my jammies. Even on a day when the sun didn’t come out, this room is still filled with brightness. I am so glad that we made the decision to transform it. See more…

Well I am happy to report that the Orange pumpkins have finally arrived at Duke Manor. The only little orange pumpkin that I placed on the mantel here…just wasn’t cutting it for the kids. They are all about big traditional orange pumpkins, not the beautiful teal plush teal one’s that I have all over the house….
This may sound a bit strange, but we are a house that is pumpkin divided….traditional orange and other. Me and my Kitchen Fall Mantel say other….. while the other mantel and the rest of the family says traditional orange. To see my fall mantel in the breakfast room you can go here to see how I…
Hello friends . Welcome to November. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. The weather, the view around the property, the general mood of people ( everyone seems to be a bit calmer before the crazy begins) and snacking on the endless stock of the kids candy left over from Halloween. And although…
