Richard Profenno, left, takes daffodils from Diane Townsend on a hill Sunday afternoon at the Barker Mill Arms Apartments at the back side of the complex on Mill Street in Auburn. Profenno and Townsend have been residents of the apartment complex for more than 14 years and have been helping beautify the front of the complex. They cleared the side of the parking lot hill and are adding these to hundreds of others that they have planted that are now in full bloom. Profenno’s dog, Jellybean, observes from the wagon.
