Autumn Backdrop From a Riverside Kitchen Window
A Riverside reader notes autumn scents in the air and describes watering flower beds as a challenge while pansies and nicotianas thrive. A Texas cactus enjoys occasional drinks, and acorns fall on the porch as two year old Bryan gathers them happily. The piece also touches on school lunch helpers, a new park north of St. Marys Church, and local reactions to a recent election and race-related remarks.
