leene_chan | Rainy May.

We planted this clematis in our front yard last year. It's called Lemon Chiffon. It was pale yellow when we bought it but for some reason this year the new flowers are apricot pink fading to white. :O

Haku Ookan, the purple clematis we've had for a few years, will probably bloom in June. I don't know if it'll be worth taking another picture of it when it does because even though it's a monster it looked pretty much the same last year.

It's been raining almost every day for the past week. I thought April showers were supposed to bring May flowers? In our case, May showers are bringing May flowers. Oh well. I guess it saves me from watering the lawn.

I haven't played Okami for a few days because I hurt my arm, probably playing Okami. Or knitting. So instead I finally opened the copy of Tales of Fandom Vol.2 that I bought on sale around Christmas time. I have mixed feelings about the game so far. As far as the character dramas go, I've finished Arche's and Jade's and started on Kratos's. I thought the ToP scenario was priceless but the Jade one was kind of boring. It was too bad, because Jade is my favorite character from ToA. I'm having a tough time completing the Kratos story because frankly, I hate ToS and all its characters with every fiber of my being. The Kratos story is dredging up some baaad memories for me. XD I don't think there's a single Tales game besides ToS that produces such a violent aversion in me. And yet, the game is one of the most popular in the series...
