Life in a Birch Tree

R and I used masking tape to create a birch tree on our sliding glass door.  C and R have been busy adding details with their Crayola window crayons.

So far, we have grass,

ants parading to their ant hill,

eggs hatching in a nest,

a beehive with a few bees,

and a butterfly and a few birds.  There are a few tiny buds on those branches, but not many.  As you can see in the background, the trees around here are still bare.

This is definitely a work in progress.
