Sample text from the file

.A utumn is beautiful time of year in Illinois. The red, purple, orange, yellow, brown, and bronze shades of the leaves reflect the great diversity of tree species in our state. Our fall color season lasts several weeks, normally starting in northern Illinois counties by the third or fourth week in September. Leaves' colors begin to change during the second week in October in central Illinois and by the last two weeks of October in the southern part of the state. The peak of fall color in Illinois normally occurs by mid-October in northern and central Illinois and by late October or early November in the southern third of the state.
