It's "Flowering Quince!"

I had asked last time if anyone

knew the name of this

pretty flowering bush

found at the back 

of my property

and heard from several that it is a

Flowering Quince.

One of the people who informed me

was Anna, one of the four siblings

from whom I bought the house.

What a treat to have been able to

meet them all during the closing!

Anna is the only one of the four

who still lives in the same town.

She is following my progress on the house.

Hi Anna!

Hope you'll stop by to see it.

Sheet rock now covers most of the kitchen walls.

Cabinets are ordered.
The open doorway you see
is to the basement.

Remember the downstairs bedroom,

my future workroom?

I started stripping wallpaper from the walls
last Saturday.

I spent a few hours on Monday

finishing the job.

The plaster walls need some repair,

but will be fine.

This is the same room with a view

through the adjoining hallway

into the kitchen.

Please note, the toilet 

is only "visiting" from the hallway bathroom.

The bead board in both bathrooms is starting to go up.

So, although the house is far from finished,

I feel good about the progress thus far.

A friend is running for city alderman
and I was asked to have one of
his signs in my "new" yard.
I already feel like part of the 
community!
