Springtime is here! There’s nothing like breathing fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin and soaking in a little Vitamin D to renew your spirit and enhance your quality of life. After being cooped up all winter, there’s nothing like seeing the beautiful signs of spring happening all around us. It’s time to get outside, go on an outing and socialize with your friends. There are so many fun (and free) things to do in Auburn. Visit one of our many parks. We have active and passive areas but most have accessible pathways to make getting outside safe and easy. Take a nature walk and look at all the buds coming up and ready to bloom. Invest in a bird feeder and enjoy hours of entertainment. While you’re out and about, stop by the food pantry at the Auburn Senior Center. A great way to stock up on items for your first barbecue of the season.
