It's fine to introduce yourself, or not, there are a few homes that abound this old farm, and and old subdivision, over the hill. I typically do not have much trouble here, yet I maintain a conspicuous presence, its visibly posted. I too enjoy some seclusion, mostly privacy, when others disturb that, I deal with it accordingly, and usually in a nice friendly manner, its seldom the other way, has happened when someone steps on my toes. A few neighbors I see at local establishments and its nice to socialize a bit, for the most part, everything is good around here. Some will tell you I am crazy, others not, I do try my best to be a good neighbor to all, clean driveways when it snows, remove fallen trees, and
I do not bother anyone around me, ever, I do tend to look after the boundary hedgerows, and on occasion ask if its ok to remove dead or trees that should be so the others remain healthy and we have that nice privacy hedge.
I don't do annoying things, and given the 48 years we have been here, I do believe some mutual respect is acceptable, don't come in here and try to dominate through change or nuisance, there has been a way of life here that has been long established.
Attitudes have changed, I've seen all the other neighbors die off, all the houses have changed hands, and it was then that problems started, one of which got real nasty, they have been gone for years. Prior to, everyone was respectful, and in those years, there was rarely any nuisance, and I maintain that today. I have one neighbor left, from the old days, been here almost as long, and I tell you, I wish all neighbors were like Bob, you just don't find people like him very often and he's as old as my dad now, it worries me, he's in good health, great family and business man and the most polite/friendly person you'll ever know.
I came back from mowing and I see a neighbor up over the hedgerow, with this nasty smokey, blue smoke billowing wet wood fire going It's unattended, he's in his new solarium on the deck, watching the game and the entire valley is smoked out. Perfect weather, cool dry air, full moon, freshly cut field of lush grass, I don't want to smell this smoke in my house, getting sick of it, and this happens a few times per week. That's the kind of crap I hate, no one did that back in the day, and if they did have a fire, their wood was dry and under cover. Burn barrels were hot and quick, same with burn piles, people just knew how to have a fire, not any more! He's got grandkids and they are so darned loud, screaming and carrying on, and actually, there's something good, normal about that, it becomes background noise, sounds like a playground and you realize the kids are just being kids and having a blast, but if I worked nights, there would be a problem, and of course you get labeled a crab for that LOL ! I don't say anything, but that smoke is becoming a problem for sure.
Overall, do as you wish, who really cares if you are friendly, want to socialize, or be left alone, live how you like !
