Squirrels

I often see squirrels busy gathering (stealing) food from my homestead farm. I imagine that I live more like a squirrel than a possum because I move fast like a squirrel! Some of my friends suggest that I do something to prevent the squirrels from taking my food. Like what? I don't want to hurt the squirrels or starve them. There's enough food for all of us and some for giving away. Food tastes better when it's shared.
