to a good and spacious land

"So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite." Exodus 3:8

Barnyard translation:
So Morning Harvest farm has come down to deliver the chicks from the power of the hatchery/incubator, and to bring the chicks up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with plants and insects, to the place of the Wyandotte and the Maran and the Orpington and the Ameraucana and the Cochin and the Australorp.

One of said chicks basking in the surplus of the garden.

carroting the weed row

"And the desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by." Ezekiel 36:34

Actually, I was weeding the carrot row, but who could tell?
Last year, this plot was part of the yard. We mowed it weekly.
This year, it's a garden. However, it's having a hard time making the transition. Grass still thrives and weeds still invade. For us, it will be a battle for several more years until the soil is conditioned.
