Around here, yes. They have little tables and chairs in front of their houses on pavement, some with picnic table umbrellas, some without. Some folks have a bench out front that they sit on. I've seen a few people out on blankets on the grass sunning themselves in their bathing suits (not many, not often, but I have seen them). Maybe your part of the Villages is secluded and people prefer to wall themselves from their neighbors all the time. But on my side of the Villages we are a pretty close community. It's not even unheard of for one neighbor to be hanging out on a bench next door to them, simply because they don't HAVE a bench of their own and want to catch a few rays in comfort.
