About Me

My photo
I live close to Houston, TX in a cypress swamp. I love the cypress trees, the frogs croaking in the evening, and the beautiful green color of the trees in the hot summer. I have 2 children, Allyson, 31 and Chris, 28. They both live nearby so we are a very close family. Ally is an insurance agent and Chris works at the Houston Zoo in the bird department. He is the supervisor of his area. I have 2 grand babies, Kahner Ray Krengle and Garrett Alexander Krengle. Kahner is very special and whatever Kahner wants Kahner gets from his Nana. Kevin is my son-in-law who I adore and love very much. I am married to Dr. Gary Holmes. He is an administrator for the LaPorte ISD. He, also, is an adjunct prof at UHCL. I love almost everything to do with nature and the arts.

Father's Day weekend!


I had a wonderful weekend. We had our bird club over for a planning meeting on Saturday. The Lower Trinity Valley Bird Club. We had about 20 or more members here to plan what we are going to do for this coming Bird Club year. Lots of food and friends. Very nice group of people. We all enjoyed the evening very much.


Sunday, we went to Buna to be with our Dads for Fathers Day. Mother fixed a wonderful meal and Daddy grilled some very good steaks. I had a very nice visit with my folks but I missed my sister Nancy. She is in Austin shopping. I know she is having a good time with her kids. Hope to see you soon, Sister.


It is getting very hot here in Old River. Yesterday evening we had Ally, Kevin, and Kahner over for Hamburgers and Hot Dogs. Gary really loves and enjoys Kahner.


I've attached a picture of a Mississippi Kite that was eating a bull frog. Oh Yum!

New Cages for the Avairy and Prothonotary Warbler


Well today I put together 1 box of new cages for the avairy. It was hot work but got it done. I have another box of cages to put together but I will wait until next week. Gary got pictures of the prothonotary warbler going in and out of his nest box feeding his young. He is so quick and active that Gary had a hard time getting a good picture.

Canary Breeding Season 2008

Well my canaries have not done as well this season as I had hoped for. We made a lot of changes to the avairy and I thought that I might have a really good breeding season. I think the weather was a little too cool and damp for the birds. I had a lot of clear eggs and dead chicks. I learned alot this year and hope to have a better season 2009.
