It appears as if I have new next door neighbors. Though I never took notice of the previous residents moving out. How observant of me. No mention of the impending move in a conversation a week earlier about new cars. My first clue .... A quick glance in that direction and the absence of prior porch furnishings and decorations.
The previous occupant? ..... Quiet and respectful. I took unmeasurable comfort in that knowledge and stability. With the new neighbor(s)? ..... Who knows.
With the unknown there's potential for problems. I heard childrens voices yesterday resonating from that vicinity as the snow fell. I suppose those kids could be from anywhere but I fear they are next door. Not the situation I would hope for. Sorry that my advanced age and state of grouchiness are now showing but I don't want to come home to or peek out from behind closed curtains and find marauding, wild children in my driveway, drawing with chalk or kicking random #4 soccer balls up against my car or my windows and doors.
No offense intended towards anyone's children. I enjoy their voices at play as well as anyone ..... As long as it's from a quarter mile or greater distance away.
I think I should have been consulted with and given final say on this matter!!
