Due to an unusually warm and late start to the fall season most of the trees in the Rockford area still have their leaves so the annual tradition of raking up your leaves hasn't started yet.
Okay, maybe the bugs aren't quite as large as the photo might suggest, but my "How To Add Hyperbolic Photos To Your Internet Posts" handbook said that these would work.
Since trees and the leaves they employ on a seasonal basis can't be bothered to join a social media platform to let Illinois residents know when the optimum time for Fall foliage viewing is here, EnjoyIllinois.com is doing it for them.
