Welcome to The Garden Dawdler – Nine Questions once a week for your leisure or pleasure. Please feel free to answer below in the comments section or create your own post. Remember to include a pingback; otherwise, this snail will never find you. |
Season One |

What do you find yourself splurging on the most? What is your top writing tip? Are you a regular recycler, and if so, what are five of your top recycling tips? Are you someone that wants to be or needs to be heard and seen, or are you content to be found behind the scenes? How approachable do you think you are in real life and away from the keyboard, and do others feel the same way about you? Do you sit more on the fence or the edge of the knife? What do you remember the most about your grandparents? How important to you is validation from your readers to your written content – do you need acknowledgement from others to create? What is it you would have liked to have been asked about your life but have yet to be? |

What do you find yourself splurging on the most? Haha hmm? Splurging huh? Let me think? Sleep? I like comfort food – if is really bad bad day I say fuck it and get something I love or crave … either comfort food or maybe Perfume? I love perfume and lotions – good smells – I am all about splurging on the senses lol 😘✌️music for the ears, food for the belly, scents for the smell, sleep for the soul lol … I splurge on the senses ❤️✌️
What is your top writing tip? Hmm 🤔 well that would depend on what kind of writer the person is?? “Do your thing?” lol that be my tip lol
Are you a regular recycler, and if so, what are five of your top recycling tips? I recycle cans and bottles – give clothes to Goodwill
The more availability I have to recycle ♻️ the more I would… some areas do well, and some do not. I do not know tips to give you?? Don’t ruin the planet? Lol can that be 1 through 5?
Are you someone that wants to be or needs to be heard and seen, or are you content to be found behind the scenes? I want to be heard when I feel I need to, but I only like attention if there is cause or reason for it.. hell yeah I fight for rights or things – I am American lol ✌️
But generally, I like low key – quiet – definitely behind the scenes
But again – American so if I gotta fight for shit so be it… bring it!
So I am quiet and reserved with little fire and spirit …lol 😘✌️
How approachable do you think you are in real life and away from the keyboard, and do others feel the same way about you? I am extremely approachable … not just with men – anyone… I just have an ease with making people feel at ease? In a world of darkness – I have light so that happens
Do you sit more on the fence or the edge of the knife? I am definitely sitting on that fence!! I do not like being cut by the knife – no thank you!! I like my fence 😘✌️
What do you remember the most about your grandparents? Love ❤️
How important to you is validation from your readers to your written content – do you need acknowledgement from others to create? Nope, do not need anyone to agree, disagree or acknowledge – I like to just say as comes – is mainly outlet for me… but you guys are all bonuses ❤️😘✌️
What is it you would have liked to have been asked about your life but have yet to be? Hahaha hmm 🤔 you giving some questions that need thought lol … I don’t know?? What would someone want to know about my life?
This is a question that requires deep thought, cause I do not know? 🤷♀️
What is the answer to these questions for you?

I am overwhelmed by all the questions, even the ones I could or would like to answer. I could write a post on each but I already have a backlog. I think everybody likes feedback but I mostly write for myself. I have years of daily posts when I first started without a single like or comment. I have begun rereading some and “liking” them now!

Hey Geoff, an interesting comment, why do they overwhelm you?

They are prompts that deserve attention if one is going to engage with them. I am good at glib retorts but many people do not appreciate those. I have many topics of my own choosing for my Blog that I am not getting to, so I am just not a particularly good participant in prompts (they would certainly be a guilty pleasure if I did 😎)

Hey Marilyn, l hear you on that level. From the grimness of torrential rains we suddenly have warm sunshine and so l have to make use of all of it fast before it expires again.

We had a sunny day today, but it will rain tomorrow. Guaranteed. I’m surprised the flowers aren’t drowning in the mud.

We have a week of sun, so they say, and l noticed that some of the banks of flowers here, were indeed drowned sadly, just way too much water.

I’m still going with my answer to the last question, that we had batted about in a private conversation.
If you want to get to know someone the question to ask is: “Who are you?” and that would be a jumping off point with lots of follow-up questions – if you wanted to get to know someone. Of course that is a very intrusive and intimate question and most people might even be puzzled by it – it would require much thought, self-reflection and honesty. So I guess the answer to your question is “Who are you?” No one ever asked me and quite frankly I don’t think I care whether anyone does or doesn’t ask. It would be a long conversation if they cared to really know – but it would be a CONVERSATION. Actually someone has asked me that question and that person is ME. And it is an ongoing conversation; the conversation of a lifetime.
