Shelly has been a cornerstone of the pet department for decades and a night manager.  Shelly is just so darn easy to like and so unquestionably responsible and dependable.  About a decade ago Shelly and her family moved further out into the countryside to make more space for her horses, dogs and cattle.  She has created a rural charm that would tempt the city dweller.

	This is the most important image of Shelly's garden.  If you look real, real close you can see her horses and cattle in the background.  I don't think Shelly spends a lot of time sitting in the shade.
Shelly has a variety of perennials.  She favors mass plantings of each variety.
	Sweet Autumn Clematics smother the rail of one deck.  The fall fragrance is wonderful.
This old Trumpet Vine is huge.  Climbing the bricks, it offers food for the hummers.
	Rustic and charming, Shelly has her own water feature.
	I need to come back earlier in the spring next year to catch this row of peoney in bloom!
Or a little later to catch this coneflower row in bloom!
	Neat and organized as always, Shelly has vegetables growing in a sunny patch.
This is my idea of an apple tree.  Apples you can reach!  Shelly grows peaches, cherries and grapes as well.
	The Old Wagon, resting in a shady spot.
Shelly is very excited the hydrengea she planted last year is turning blue!
	At the end of the day Shelly may sit and enjoy the many bird feeders and bird houses scattered about.
But she is more likely doing her chores and playing with her pets.
