Tiki time!

One cannot celebrate August properly without a moment of tiki styling…  What is it about polynesian carvings and the word tiki that brings summer so quickly to mind?  For me, I think it’s something to do with the completely foreign way of life of the Māori, the warm weather, lush, jungle surroundings and the abandonment of cares to the pleasure of a summer moment.  In short, it’s a metaphor for  “anything can happen.”

In the last days of summer, especially, it’s time to grab hold of the days as they slip by.  Now is the time for lazy moments on the porch, making home-made lemonade, watching the ferns grow and taking that extra walk around the neighborhood to look at everyone’s gardens and admire the vibrancy of summertime.  So, go ahead, have some fun, and throw up a little tiki decoration like this one.
