Ten favorite places

This round, I’m sticking close to home – places I return to.

1. My studio and loft.
2. Our Smoking Garden and adjacent fern beds, in season.
3. Our 1768 Quaker meetinghouse.
4. Dover’s indoor swimming pool downtown and its Olympic-size sister outdoors in Guppey Park, Portland Avenue. Gee, does that mean there’s actually a locker room or two as part of my favorites list? Let’s not slight the long, hot showers.
5. Annunciation Greek-Orthodox church. Visually stunning interior, for starters, and some fine folks.
6. Sander’s Theater at Harvard. Think of Shakespeare’s Globe and start adding on things like a ceiling.
7. The Maine coast, from the Isles of Shoals on up. Could lead to its own Tendrils entry.
8. The Community Trail running through town and out along the river.
9. The waterfalls downtown. Always changing.
10. Lickee’s and Chewy’s Candies & Creamery in the Cocheco Millworks.
