Verbs Are Sometimes Just a Matter of Opinion

A prompt from the Pocket Muse
Use the following verbs in any way you wish:

racket snug green spoon boggle snake

The thin, cloudy window pane racketed in the bitter, frigid wind as Sarah snugged deeper under her worn red flannel sheets.  My second Maine winter, she thought to herself.  Her new remote, isolated lifestyle suited her well.  Her thumbs now greened after her first season as a gardener.  Sink or swim.  If she hadn't learned to garden she would have starved to death last winter.  Sarah's mind wandered back through the day's events.  She was most pleased with herself for chipping a large hole in the ice on the lake and designing the clever apparatus to spoon the ice out the hole.  She now had access to water, melting snow just wasn't working out as well as she had hoped.  It boggled her mind to think about the high-stress, fast paced life she used to live.  She could picture her former friends still in the rat-race, snaking money out of high-profile investors.    Sarah shut off the light, rolled over, and thought about what adventure awaited her tomorrow.
