"All By Myself"
Stone Harbor, New Jersey
Tuesday after Labor Day. The traditional back to school day around here. Have to admit, I rather enjoy having the whole house to myself during these hours. Solitude. Plus, I get to straighten up the homestead and relish that it actually STAYS clean for a few hours. Happy "Back to School Day" to moi!
P.S. Please take a look at where I'm linking up today..."The Party's On".
Please join me on Sundays for Song-ography.
This week's song title is Queen's "I Want to Break Free".
hehe, i'm happy everyone's gone!! not you, your the exception :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! That is exactly the way I feel today. Everything is so blissfully quiet since the big yellow buses rolled by this morning. Fun photo!
ReplyDeleteI love that little gull! He indeed looks a little confused. :)
ReplyDeletegreat shot...I remeber the days when the kids left for school...so peaceful!!
ReplyDeleteNice picture..... I went south to Portugal to catch some last warm ( hot) days.Left son in charge of daughter and hoping for the best. Next week will see me cleaning house and garden and will start to look at those marvelous boots I saw the other day.....
ReplyDeleteHappy for all the moms who now have a little more free time and also cleaner houses with the kids gone during the day. LOL
ReplyDeletePerfect photo for back to school day!

ReplyDeleteI remember the feeling of "yes!! the shoobies are gone!!" at the end of every labor day night!!
We started back last week, but after the long weekend I'm glad to have some quiet time back! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI was looking to the same here and then my computer imploded and everything went a bit wonky. Luckily the hard drive was saved and so I was able to rescue all my work but it has taken all day and a new laptop to get back on track!

I had a very quiet day today. Welcome after all the activity we have had, but I am sure I will miss it all soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've got some solitude! Your little bird looks lonely, though--like he just realized he's all by himself. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous shot! Love the contrast of summer to this! Hope you enjoyed your quiet hours today. I can only imagine!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely shot, and wistful, too. I had to laugh because this fits a song perfectly -- All By Myself :)
ReplyDeleteA quiet house (well, if 2 German Shepherds and 2 cats can be quiet), is a wonderful thing. :
ReplyDeleteI love this shot Kathy. Actually looks like he's asking that very question!
ReplyDeleteReally awesome shot Kathy! I love this. We did not get to the beach even once this summer. Maybe we can go down this month. I hope so. There is something so great about the Jersey shore.
ReplyDeletei so love that feeling too :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, Yesterday here was the 1st day back at school too. It's nice having a quiet house for most of the day once again. Also the start of our bowling league but this week I'm not talking about that!
ReplyDeleteOopsie, I forgot to say I really like your photo too.
ReplyDeleteThe little bird does look a bit lonely.
