Another dull roar from an overhead flight. Another drone from a passing car. An inky black of a night sky. An Autumn chill in the air.
This is a near-mid-October night in New Rochelle. This is Westchester County urban living.
& Five weeks after nineteen years in bucolic Montebello, this is now home.

neighbors’ voices

It’s a big change for sure. I’ve spent my life moving, but I remember when our family moved from Ohio to Maryland after my parents had spent their whole lives in Ohio it took a very long time for my mother to adjust. Hopefully, you will find things to anchor you in your new environment.
I remember when I moved here 12 years ago after having spent 25 years in the same house. It was a radical change also and it took me some time to get used to it. Please be patient and maybe the place will begin to grow on your. Hearing neighbor’s voices when you aren’t used to them would be a tough one.
