Colloquialisms

"Skin a rabbit" she tells me as she removes my patriotic sweater.

GASP !!

"Oh Maggie Rose, not literally, it's a colloquial expression meaning I'm pulling your sweater off over your head."

APPALLED !!

So mom, let's just pull my sweater gently over my phantom head without any disgusting colloquialisms, okay?

Other than the rabbit reference, our walk was a beautiful bluebird day here in Wyoming. Mom and I both were feeling our oats, happy to be out and about inhaling crisp mountain air, absorbing sunlight, upping our vitamin D levels a tad. Mama tells me this is the first year she's ready to be done with winter and snow. And especially mud. I'm happy too. Mom and I need our mountain time and sunshine now more than ever before.
