It is official, Spring is here. I just received my first weekly email from The Plant Kingdom (Find their website here). I love the Plant Kingdom, all the plants are organically grown and pest control is organic. There is something calming (and a little surreal) about walking through a greenhouse, after all this cold and snow, and seeing lady bugs walking around on the plants!
So to celebrate the real beginning of Spring in Fairbanks, and because the sky starts getting light at about 5:30 now (official sunrise is around 7:30), we have the Fairbanks Spring Sunrise for drink of the week. It is a fruity, tart drink that wakes up your senses (after being about sense-less at the end of winter).
