Toby is a very spiritual squirrel whose family has lived in this part of the yard for so many generations no one's really sure how many. Today, Toby is visiting the site of what is perhaps the most significant spiritual site for the squirrels of this neighborhood: Squirrel Stonehenge (which is never called Squirrelhenge—it’s always Squirrel Stonehenge). Built a really long time ago by the ancestors of the squirrels that live in this very back yard, the purpose of Squirrel Stonehenge has yet to be discovered. Some say that if a bird or some other non-squirrel creature were to stand on the center stone on Squirrel Christmas, they’d be able to speak squirrel for the day, while others say that if the right squirrel were to stand on that stone on the Solstice, they’d be gifted incredible and unbelievable powers. Today, even though it’s no particular squirrel holiday that we know of, a strange figure is perched on that center stone of power, adding to the mystery of this already mysterious place.
