Is this butternut squash successfully pollinated?

Thank you. I feel calm now. I was worried it would die. Lets say I don't let the fruits stay too long, and the winters aren't cold at all. Will they produce for years to come? I have always thought of squash as annuals.

If it doesn't frost they will survive but the next years production will be very limited. Pull them up, you will know when

CrazyConure, if it helps any to regulate your watering times, I have always heard that as long as you get one inch of rainfall a week, you won't need to water your garden. So I set a little $1.00 rain gauge in the garden, and check it after a rain. If it doesn't rain that week, I turn on the sprinkler, and turn it off once the gauge is showing an inch. Simplified a lot of my worrying!
