Rain after Solstice

Just at the time when we have the most sunlight here and the garden is growing towards our first harvest, we get rain, a slow pattering that lasts all day and filters the light to a day-long dusk. We are happy our gardens are watered, but it’s not what we expected.

So, write about a day, a moment, a conversation that takes an unexpected turn. And be sure to add in the weather.
