DUTCH DOORS - I have ALWAYS Wanted One

^{A DUTCH Door ….}

****{ American English }, or stable door  { British English } or

half door { Hiberno English }, is a door divided horizontally

in such a fashion that the bottom half may remain shut while the top half swings open.

The initial purpose of this door was to keep out animals from the farm, while keeping the children inside, and allowing light and fresh air inside.

This type of door was common in the Netherlands in the 17^th century. During this same period they appeared in Dutch paintings. They were also commonly found in the Dutch cultural areas of New York & New Jersey before the American Revolution.

How sweet is this?

Nothing would make me happier 

than having my horse stick his head in the dutch door and 'BEG',

pawing his right leg -

and moving his head up and down -

with an occasional whinny~

{he begs so well}

....for a carrot or some oatmeal cookies.

I would grab my coffee and go outside give him his cookies....

and then lay where he chooses to graze.

PURE HEAVEN!!!
