“Any sakes!” my grandmother used to exclaim at some startling occurrence. The misdirection in today’s post - first yesterday’s weather snippets, melted snowdrops and all - followed by the quick left juke to Chicken Little!
Then Zamm! A great here-in-the-present characterization of facets of your surroundings!
“...and I shelter from the storm.” Most clever of all! You never got out from under the blankets today! Bolstered by pillows and propped up knees forming a crude tent, you squint mightily as you type the characters for today’s newsletter on your iPhone.
Muses dispatched for outdoor reconnaissance, you stayed warm albeit crunched up awaiting their musings. I wonder if the here-and-now gang even cracked the door! Impressions perhaps, like Monet’s view of the picnickers by the lake. Tried to slip that by us, huh?
Either way, grumble you did not! Staying abed, rather than risking death by a thousand pin-flakes, clearly was a wise adaptation to circumstance.

Bravo!!!
Fiction mirroring real life?
I assure you I was tethered to the four leg and walking through the snow before sheltering with keyboard coffee.
