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 ↑.

Such precious footage! YAM xx
I hope you get some rain soon. I always love your trail cam videos.
I'm sure whatever critter ate the squash blossoms enjoyed the moisture.
Water would be a greater concern for those on a well.
The deer seem to enjoy having their photos taken, and apparently know the camera is there doing something!
The hummingbird is such a beautiful sighting. We have to really conserve water in our camper so I know it's a challenge.Hopefully it will rain soon. Hugs!
I collect the water from my basement dehumidifier and use it to water the planters. I figure that every bit helps.
Awesome nature shots and your cam photos are always intriguing ~ thanks ~ good luck with the water situation ~

Hello Jenn,
Wonderful variety of critters and photos.
My favorites are the hummer, the bear and the deer.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critters! Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I would not be happy to be hearing gun fire either. You got such a great shot of the hummingbird.
I can't believe the variety of critters that go through your yard,
We are trying to save water too, must be a hard thing to do with young kids and/or teenagers. Thank goodness there is just the 2 of us. Lots of critter sightings around you. Visiting from saturday's critters, https://craftygardener.ca/ladybugs/
I enjoyed your videos, especially the bear. WOW!
Love your critters and hope you get some much needed rain. We could do with some too. Winter is our wettest season and it has been dry - which doesn't aurgure welll for summer.
Great critter cam photos and videos. What fun it must be to set these up and then go through them and be surprised.
That's a good variety of critters.
All the best Jan
