Well, in the first Friday post since we declared that Fridays are our update day, I will do a little bit of catching up so we can get on to the fun part of life, the universe, and everything.

Ever wonder what a cemetery under construction looks like? How does one go about building a cemetery, anyway? I mean, most cemeteries have, y’know, kind of been around for awhile. This isn’t an Ohio cemetery, but Headstoners must be flexible and go wherever the headstones may call! Well, while on our Topol trip (yeah, I know, February–I’ve been busy, okay?), we were driving through good old Pennsylvania when we saw signs reading “NATIONAL CEMETERY OF THE ALLEGHENIES!” So we thought, hey, why not? Check-in time isn’t forever from now. So we got off the jolly old highway, followed the “orange detour” signs, whatever that is, and arrived at 292 acres of . . . kind of nothing.

Well, spring has finally arrived, and you know what that means–the Headstoners are getting back at it! We celebrated the advent of spring in style at the Bellefontaine City Cemetery in Logan County:

So there you have it, folks: spring is in the cemetery, and that means that the Headstoners are going to be back on track. We do have a backlog, though, so in the next few weeks, you’ll be seeing pictures from the last few weeks, including–

  • The end of the Topoloicious trip (including a magnificantly inaccessible and haunted cemetery in Belmont County and a brand new National Cemetery in Pennsylvania)
  • Return to Day Cemetery in Logan County
  • A lovely, well-kept, and neatly organized cemetery called Equality in Logan County
  • And finally, a cemetery so bent on restoration that they’re destroying their own headstones

See you in the next few weeks, and enjoy your bubbles!
