International Postcard Week 2023
Hello,
Every day is an opportunity to change your life. Nature makes me happy. Nature is the pure truth with its various forms. I love the mist over the meadows. It brings something mysterious. I walk and cycle as long as I am moving. I live in a village with several forests, extensive nature reserves full of variation between forests. Countless ferns and heathland are great for walking and cycling, cycling on a multi-man bike or independently on my city bike. The sunrise and sunset in this area in particular provide beautiful pictures.
I read some books every year. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Our own happiness depends on the smiles of others. No matter what happens, I keep looking for my smile. Accept yourself and the rest will follow!
Greetings, Marian, The Netherlands
Happy International Postcard Week 2023
The Butler County Courthouse, Greenville, Alabama
There have been four Butler County courthouses at this location. The first one was built in the 1820's and lasted for more than 25 years before it was destroyed by fire on April 12, 1853.
The second was another wood structure that cost around $6,000 to complete. It was in use until 1870 when it became apparent that it needed extensive repairs and it was recommended by a committee to replace it with a larger building.
By 1871 work started on the third building, this time it would be made of brick. This one would last for 30 years before the county realized it was too small for their needs and was torn down to make room for a larger building.
The final courthouse was finished in 1903 and it was wired for electricity. Considering the size f the town, this is quite remarkable! There have been changes to the structure over the years, air conditioning was added 50 years later, the dome was replaced in 1977, but this building has lasted. Personally, I hope it lasts for many years to come.
I wish you all the best and may your mailbox be filled with wonderful postcards, Brenda Cole

So I am not sure who was more confused; the raven, the sign, or me. But there was snow and no ducks to be seen in this picture.
