Rebus Message On 1909 Postal Card

Here are both sides of a UX19 postal card mailed from Rockville, Indiana to Tangier, Indiana in 1909. The message is a rebus which I have not totally figured out.

Front side with "eye" symbol for the 4 occurrences of the letter I.



Back side:



My interpretation, so far:

You are a peach.
How I adore you.
You are buggy, you are a hive of bees
You are so well behaved
I _____ _____ you.
You are a _______ (bird in the bush?)
So I will prepare
for a postcard.
tenderly yours.

Help and alternate interpretations appreciated.

Looks good so far. First missing item could be "add" or "sum".

Note the writer even wrote {eye}ND in the address, and it apparently got there.

Line 3: Instead of "you are a hive of bees", I think it is "you are full of ____"

I'm thinking "about" as is "add" and "boot", but that doesn't make much sense. I'm trying to create "adore" instead, but don't quite see it.

23/5 are prime numbers but not sure where to go from there?

What an exciting postcard to come across! I would guess your "Hive of bees" is actually "Prize of the Flock"

"I assure" you, perhaps?

I compare you?
I prepare you?
I want (=1) to (=2) you?

"bird in a bush" could be "a wise owl"

"postcard" could be "letter postcard" or a "mailed postcard" which makes one wonder why P is circled in peach.

I think
2
3
-
5
represents the word "addition"

Or add which gives "I add"

"lone bird" is another possibility for "bird in the bush"

Line #4: "you are a-door-a-bell" ... no clue about the "haved"

... And, for those (like me) unfamiliar with the term:

Nice card & post, JB.

How about this for a second half?

I adduce you.
You are a lone bird.
So I will prepare
for a mailed postcard.
tenderly yours.
