Keith –Today on my way to work I picked some wattle blossoms and put them in water in my office. After only fifteen minutes you could smell the lovely honey fragrance. On the way home I stopped again and brought some home – some are in the kitchen and some by your picture in the bedroom.
Listening (and singing) to lots of music – ZZ Top, Eagles and just tonight, Joni Mitchell. Here is a part of the lyrics from "A Case of You". You know, I liked this song very much when I was a young hippy chick in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I never imagined you, honey - my Canadian treasure.
A Case of You – Joni Mitchell (abridged)
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the Northern Star".
On the back of a cartoon coaster,
in the blue TV screen light,
I drew a map of Canada –
Oh, Canada!
- with your face sketched on it twice.
I’m frightened by the devil,
and I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid.
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls."
Surely you touched mine,
‘cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time.
I met a woman -
she had a mouth like yours.
She knew your life;
she knew your devils and your deeds.
And she said,"Go to him, stay with him if you can,
but be prepared to bleed."
Oh, but you are in my blood, you’re my holy wine.
You’re so bitter, bitter and so sweet.
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling,
still I’d be on my feet,
I would still be on my feet.
Yeah, honey, I’m still on my feet. Love you –
- Tiger Woman
