I wish to identify a book from 1940’s or 1950’s (I think) that is a memoir by a man (family?) who moved to Santa Fe from elsewhere in US, and describes his learning about Southwest culture. Specifically, describes his learning about using acequia water for his lawn.
Title, as best as I remember, used some combination of the words Sunshine, Window, Kitchen, and/or Shoulder.
Doesn’t fit all the details, but just in case… “Hand on My Shoulder” by Gabino Rendon?

Thank,Gill, for the suggestion. I found your title on Amazon. It’s in the ballpark, but not the one I’m after.

Unfortunately, I’m not finding any books closer to the description. It might be worth contacting the Historical Society of New Mexico, or perhaps the state library.
