At some point during this time of the year, I say the same thing. Why did we plant so many trees? This occurs when I am raking a lawn full of leaves.

The shovels are going to be flying with dirt this Friday as state leaders, law enforcement officials and others mark the ceremonial beginning of the Hwy. 14 expansion between Dodge Center and Owatonna.
