Yes, sometimes it is stepping out of our comfort zone, and somtimes it is simply not having the right conversation. :) My DH and I moved about 6 1/2 yrs ago to where we are now. Our closest neighbour is about 3/4 mile down the road. Although rural neighbours are there in a flash to help if you need it, it is different than town neighbours for getting to know one another....no fence to chat across. ;) We love where we are for a lot of reasons, and now I have one more reason to love it.
