From the garden by the sea / Wild asparagus in pictures

Today I wanted to take my video with the sunset, but my family was in a hurry, so I did not have the time and instead did it in the garden by the sea that belongs to my grandparents, where I take care of a large orchard. I also had a bountiful harvest of wild asparagus for my family, that my father placed in scene in the pictures below. 

I also ran 4.5 km + several kilometers of walk, so I ran 9 km in two days. Sports has always been something I liked and was good at, from jogging to hiking, from soccer to ping pong and tennis, and swimming, and skiing, and many other sports including real and invented ones. In the garden during summers mixing imaginary and existing sports such as playing golf with a soccer ball in a large hole in the ground, in between the trees of the garden. 





I also had a slight disadventure this evening. I'm again alone in Amchit and all of a sudden I saw the garden was inundated with water. The water from the melting snow was coming in the canal that connects us to Nahr Ibrahim, one of the main rivers of the region. But it is not supposed to inundate the garden!

I discovered a dam over one of the main branches of the canal above of the garden that caused water to overflow in great quantities. I could more or less resolve the problem and that allowed the water to go down in level. But now, there is a lot of mud everywhere! And I had to work just with a headlight, as it was night already when I discovered the problems, thanks to my cat friends who came to call me, noticing something unusual. Fortunately the water did not come inside the house (anyway, the house is slightly supraelevated, so that should be avoided, even when it rains very heavily for several days in a row, like it sometimes happens).

From the garden around our house

From the garden around our house. I kept the video short as you have several very interesting videos from the weekend to watch carefully.
