More Outside Activity

I need more "outside" activity. It was nice to get out today, but I need more. Stimulating conversation while one knits or quilts is helpful. I guess it would be good if I knew some of my neighbors more than casually. However, at this time I have no idea if we'd have any similar interests. Wouldn't it be convenient to walk to a neighbor's home instead of hopping in the car and driving to the next town to get together?
