The Crazy Artists Club had its second meeting Saturday at the Round House Cafe, George Forss and Donna Wynbrandt joined Maria and I, we were all reveling in the first reasonably warm day of the year, it was over 45 degrees, mud season arrived with a vengeance, the farm is a bog but much of the ice is finally melting.

I love taking pictures of Donna and George, theirs is a love story, pure and enduring. Donna told me about their first date, arranged by a minister who brought Donna to George’s house and told her he was a nice man but he didn’t have the usual “middle-class values.” Their first date was at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and they have been together ever since. Admission was free then, Donna said, which is probably why George took her there.
Donna said George has changed since she first met him, he is more sensible, she said. Wow, I said, I would love to have seen him before.
