The Leonid Meteor Shower usually put on a good show if you’re out in the country and away from city lights.
My boys and I camped on our deck many August nights watching them. One evening we counted 200 before we were all too tired and fell asleep.
Good times. :)
The Leonid shower is in November. You might be thinking of the Perseid shower. It’s almost always cloudy in southern Arizona in August, so I never get to see the Perseids these days.
