For some time now I have been meaning to join in with others in sharing door photos on Thursdays, a weekly challenge started by my fellow blogger Norm at his blog Norm 2.0. Given my clear obsession with doors, not sure why it took me so long! Visit his blog if you would like to see doors shared by others. There are quite a variety every week!

This sunny door is from the Thomas Hale House in Glastonbury, CT, c. 1714. It is one of the oldest homes in town. Mr. Hale was a tavern keeper in his day which was quite an important role in colonial times. Taverns had to be placed every few miles along main roads so that road weary travelers could stop to get something to eat and drink or possibly stay the night. Taverns were also one of the few places where public meetings could be held.

In any event, the bright yellow door makes me happy! Hope you enjoy.
