Default Bush I.D.

Ain't gonna do it.

Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.

I need help identifying a bush in my yard. I live in zone 6, Idaho.
The pictures are at

(The pics aren't very large, so they should be fairly dialup friendly)

The soil has been really dry. I haven't watered it much. The bush is
about four feet tall from two years of growth-- this is after it had
been cut to the ground. Hard telling how much it could have grown had
I actually watered it. Oh, and it is in full sun on the south side of
my house, with a week or more of over 100* weather this summer, so it
is very drought tolerant.

I'm thinking it could be related to the cranberry. I picked a berry,
broke it open, and smelled it. It smells sour- but definitely not an
overpowering smell. In late summer, it had very small white flowers.
All the berries are located on the bottom half of the bush, which
seems a little strange to me, but maybe it's because the top half is
new growth this year?

Anyway, If anybody can identify this bush, I would really appreciate
it.
