New neighbours

I always thought folks being nice and neighborly was great, i am just a quiet person by nature. I moved to where I was because life was too busy. Folks were in a rush to go somewhere, do something and I wanted to slow down.

I like all my neighbors, but unless I'm already outside I do ask that folks call me before they stop out un-announced. I guess its because I've lived in the big city once before, and I have a hard time trusting big groups of people.

I do think you have the correct ideas though, its just they may be self directed sort of like I am in a way.

Maybe he was fighting with his wife? Moving and renovating are stressful times for people. If he said he was busy, and he did not appear to be busy, maybe his mind was busy and he had a lot on his mind. Try again later, I'm sure he will warm up. Invite him over for coffee and to see your chickens, tell him you heard he had some and if he'd like to see yours? Don't get discouraged, and don't put to much weight on his response, the only persons actions you can control are your own, so as long as you are being nice thats all that matters

Dont let it hurt your feelings..
and dont bother with them again. Just go about your own business.

I am so fortunate to live in a neighborhood that is a neighborhood--somewhat old fashioned, but most of us know each other and take time to socialize to some extent. We help each other out when needed, meet over the fence or at the park or in each others homes.

I think a gift of half a dozen eggs is a wonderful Welcome to the Neighborhood gift
