Gracie's on the roof again!

Our Gracie Girl cat is a jumper.  She jumps up on the roof of our first floor by leaping from the porch rail to the garage roof and then to the house roof.  Gracie then proceeds to "secure the premises" by scouting out any stray invaders to the house - such as bugs or starlings or other birds on the roof that just might slip through the screen and get in the house (little likelihood of that, Gracie).  She is very good at this security position.  Gracie does on occasion eat a bug or two while "on duty" but she has never eaten a bird on the roof - yet.  Notice the cows in the pasture.    They must think she is "Superwoman Cat" - leaps tall buildings in a single bound.

Gracie is the epitome of grace, agility and flexibility.  She loves the other other cats and all the people who live here and visit.   She has always been on this farm with us. She is a joy to watch, even when on the roof.

Redbud Tree

Often wonder why they call it Redbud, when it is really more majenta?  This is a nice time with this tree as the new leaves are breaking free and the redbuds are still very much adorning the limbs.

Notice the young cows in the background.  Love to see the animals here on the farm.  They are well taken care of by Chuck who was raised a farmer and loves being a farmer.  Even his stepsons who are at NC State are aiming to become farmers upon graduation.  They work here a lot.  Nice young men.
