The garden after rain
After the rain, Mina walked to the small garden behind her building. Water rested on each leaf like a clear bead. She loosened the soil around the tomato plants and found a tiny green fruit. A robin watched from the fence. Mina filled her watering can, then left it beside the gate for tomorrow.
