I live in suburbia. I have just jotted our names and phone number on an index card, knocked on the door and introduced myself. I mumble something like "call me if you need a neighbor" and hand them the card. I think over the last year, our 1 year neighbors borrowed a snow shovel for the first snow since they had just moved from California and hadn't gotten one yet. Other than that, we just wave. So, go ahead and break the ice.

I wouldn't think just climbing up the pole would be much of an intrusion. Siwsan Jul 2024 #1

Thank you, no I haven't met them. I saw a woman carrying the deck table earlier. Walleye Jul 2024 #2
