The Phantom Fence



A fence started growing out of our yard a few weeks ago. First some holes showed up and then a bunch of poles appeared around the yard. Two weeks later we still have giant empty holes and some poles, along with a sizable stack of wood planks on the grass.


This isn't exactly out of the ordinary.

Last winter in Fayetteville some guys came to fix a water pipe under our front yard. They dug up the yard, broke a pipe, and never returned. A few weeks later some different people came and tore up our very steep driveway, leaving behind a muddy incline. Needless to say, the mud froze. They left it that way for about a month while we parked a few blocks down the hill in front of a stranger's house. We still miss our snowy walks up and down the hill.


Shortly after moving back to Conway last summer we also had a phantom lawn dude. We'll always remember him!
