I'm not sure which I like better. My first thought on the first hay picture, "it's a selfie in the dark, and his head is VERY round". OK, imagination gone wild has always been a bit of a 'problem' at this end. But they each do have a different look. One reveals what it is, the other is more of a fill in the blank thing. I like them both. How's THAT for wishy washy?! But you do have fun out in the night sky.
I'm voting church on the Oliver. Or schoolhouse, though that's a BIG belfry for a bell. Then again, I live out west, and nothing much exists from that far back. Your bushes are probably older than some of our buildings.
Hope the job hunt comes up successful soon. I'm sure it is tempting to lie on an application, or at least fudge a bit, and maybe that's better than living in the car, but I'm with you, honesty usually comes out first. Maybe tell them up front, "I realize I may leave, but I gotta eat, PLEASE". Maybe that will work. Something will come up soon though. I have my fingers crossed, and that should help. Cheers
