We all share an intimate relationship with Rain.  With all of Water's cycle, really, down through the Earth to the seas and into the air, then... Rain.  A most refreshing tactile experience, as summer heats up.  Rain quiets everything; the world remains dampened for a while afterward.  Rain brings new hope and life to the Garden.  The brittle dry stalks of Spring plants baked by drought are now soft pads of mulch, supporting new blooms of tiny mushrooms.  The old Mustard stems and pods are barely visible; in their place are huge drifts of cute little purple sprouts.  I got a little wild and crazy and ordered all my favorite Weird foods for summer, seeds for a perennial (hopefully) Lima bean are soaking on the porch, two types of Amaranth are already in the ground.  Oh yeah and cilantro.  Better get on those sunflowers soon, and okra too, save room for sweet potatos!  Ok gotta go.  (Wish me Luck!)
