My #Wednesday Walk for 2.17.2021

It is so Gray and overcast, very windy as well, and I KNOW there is bad weather on its way.
I saw a post by my friend @tobywalter about his 'stressful Wednesday walk' and I thought to myseff, "Seff, you needs to get outta dat house and go fer a walk"
So I did. (Thanks to @tattoodjay for starting all this fun)
There aren't any interesting URBAN things around where I live (not interesting to me anyway) so I decided to go the other way, back into my woods.
No plan, just gonna go walk and take some pics.

And Then It Began

Just walking past my burn pile, I figured I'd show the pile of free woodchips I got.

Looking to my right as I passed the burn pile, I was reminded that last night, I came out to get some moon pics

Those two are from the same spot, one with flash, the other without.
I think you can tell which is which 😁
So I tried to get one today from that spot in daylight

Well, not too far off 😏

As soon as I went through my back gate, I began noticing things I'd not noticed before.
I don't know about you, but time of day, time of year can make a huge difference in What you see and what you don't see
I collect blocks and bricks and stones, supposedly for future use in my own landscaping projects; they aren't doing any good buried up under leaves and detritus are they?

Up to that point, I had been walking more or less aimlessly, then I happened to look over to where my outhouse is located
(↑There is no way you can see it from the path like this as is↑)
Stepping down off the path, again I found something I'd not seem before

A glass Casserole Dish, that will make a nice addition to my cookware (but I digress)
I started wading through all the deadfall and pine straw, and the HATED😡 Elaeagnus that, while it feeds the birds (and hence spreads prolifically) it has thorns, it is a bush but will grow like a vine, and is generally a total (to me) NUISCANCE.


^{↑THAT is some I cut later↑}
I also began seeing some cut stone! (GASP!) and brick etc...
Now my "archaeologist' curiosity was aroused!

So I went back to the house (huffing and puffing, don't let anyone fool you, COPD is no joke) and got my limb loppers

Hit were a chore, let me tell you, and I didn't know it until I saw it on the ground (leaves)

I'd popped me watch band loose. I'm glad I saw that, fer shure!

After cutting that damned Ill-EE-AGONY, I went back and got my blower as well. I was starting to get a better view of this... whatever it was/is

I can't decide is this is just a pile of rubble that has been dumped like so many other things, or

Is it stuff piled over a grave? OR

Was the path to the outhouse either semi paved or lined with stone/brick? I didn't think to turn around, but the terlet structure was about 6-8 feet behind me, but you can see buried brick even down here.
I am gonna have to go back with my pitchfork (great tool for probing the ground in search of anything different from dirt) and see JUST how far these brick/stone/pieces go.
Who knows! Maybe I'll rebuild it and put it back into use!

This has been my

"Sorta Wednesday Walk"
