I like the way you bring our attention to one detailed moment, and explore it. And I also love that rained-on-earth smell (though have you noticed that the smell seems to roll in even when the rain has not quite started falling yet)? I have a friend who eats handfuls of soil when it rains, just for that smell.
It’s true, it does smell so good! Before reading this, I had honestly never thought about the fact that the smell is there even before it rains. Cute story.
