"All passions make us commit some faults, love alone makes us ridiculous."
Love ibiblio!
Unconditional Free Love! That's what ibiblio.org has given you for over 16 years--longer than any place else on the Internet.
Now we could use your help.
Much of our ability to support you comes from your support of ibiblio. That need not be in for form of money, which is of course always welcomed and encouraged; it could be in the form of thanking UNC and NC officials for ibiblio services and for the university's support of ibiblio.
And there are tax advantages for giving money too. ibiblio is part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a non-profit organization registered as a 501(c)(3) under the United States internal revenue code.
Don't be shy; we've known each other for a long time. Click here and share the love in February.
The Love Letter
Pulling a curtain to one side, a scene of domestic intimacy is revealed. A well-to-do woman, clothed in yellow, is being handed a letter. She glances up questioningly at her maid and pauses in her lute playing. The room with the two women is brilliantly lit; the space in front of it is darker. Sheet music can be seen on a chair. Perhaps the lady is waiting for a person with whom to play music. On the dark wall at the left of the door opening is a map. Vermeer signed the painting with his characteristic signature, compressed on the left, next to the maid, is the name 'JVMeer'.
Bluebird Nest Boxes
Valentine's Day (14 February) provides a reminder that it's time to take care of your bluebird duties for the current year. In many parts of the country, bluebirds have already formed pairs by Valentine's Day and are looking around for nesting locations, so you should try to hang new boxes by this date. Even with this early activity, however, it's not too late to build and erect new nestboxes; in much of the U.S. and Canada actual egg-laying won't begin for 4-6 weeks or so, but it's still best to try to have your boxes up no later than mid-February. Valentine's Day is also a good time to clean out your nestboxes to remove any droppings and other detritus that might have been left behind by winter roosting birds.
