Things have been dry. We're not flushing every time we go. I make sure the dish washer is truly full before we run it. Joe has been shaving with less water. Our big problem is showers. It takes time for the hot water to reach the shower being at the other end of the house. I've resorted to running water in one of my two water buckets in the tub until it runs hot so as not to waste water.

We're keeping the goldfish pond and water fountain going, as the critters are needing water, too. Then I can water my hanging plants with the water. The hummingbirds are happy in the fountain, as well as the cedar waxwings, robins, wood thrush, goldfinches, etc.
We've had quite a few critters! This black squirrel was funny. Just off camera.
The birdcam is on the sidewalk, as I'm trying to keep track of Fred. There is another looking at burrow #6. I don't want to fill it in if she is in there. MiniFred seems to come and go. Where, I do not know.
You just never know who will show up, though. The skunk came by.
I've two squash or pumpkin plants (I forget!) and they aren't doing too, too well. See these lovely blossoms? They are gone. I blamed Fred, but I think it was the skunk ↑.
