We moved to our new house almost 4 months ago! I love the house. I like our street a lot too. It's quiet. It's a cul-de-sac. The one thing I'm uncomfortable with is that I haven't figured out is how to meet the neighbors.
We know our next door neighbors and they seem nice. We've been in their house a couple of times, chat with them outside on the weekends, and will probably do more as the weather gets nicer and cold season ends. (They have little kids too, and this winter, someone has always been sick so we haven't gotten together! We have seen them at the local part and have played/chatted with them there. I think as the kids get older we will play more.)
Anyway, there are several other houses on the street, and we don't know the people. Should we go over and introduce ourselves? We see people driving in and out of the driveways, and that sort of thing, but we haven't spoken, and neither have they. One time, one of the grandkids of a neighbor said hello, but no one else has.
One of the neighbors is doing a lot of landscaping and I don't know if we should use that as an opportunity to say "Hello" to them (when they are outside working). It would be nice to know the people on the street. I don't really want or expect friends, but they are our neighbors... We expect we'll live here in this house for a long time. What would you suggest for how to go about meeting new neighbors?
