Windy is a understatement...extremely windy for the last couple of days....After a quick run to town to do some errands...then a short walk around the garden to get my pics( sorry none taken in town...) I had to stop what i was doing to reschedule some tests that are  on for next week.......instead of having them all done at one place....i get to have them done in two different places....
I am not going into detail on what tests are being done right now....

now on to the pics for the day
