Tuesday August 10th is San Lorenzo - Wikipedia says this about him.....
St Lawrence is one of the most widely venerated saints of the Roman Catholic Church. Devotion to him was widespread by the 4th century. As his martyrdom occurred very early in Church history, many other Christians honor him as well. Since the Perseid Meteor Shower typically occurs every year in mid-August, on or near Saint Lawrence's feast day, some refer to the shower as the "Tears of Saint Lawrence."
So providing the clouds keep away, (it's been quite hazy today although still 30 degrees) we will be outside watching for the shooting stars, and keeping ourselves fortified with a taste of this years of fig wine.
