And we have a winner! Yes, it was John Greenleaf Whittier. Burns' was the first poetry he read with the exception of the Bible and it opened his eyes to the poetic material in his own surroundings. In his poem on Burns he says,

I saw through all familiar things
The romance underlying;
The joys and griefs that plume the wings
Of Fancy skyward flying.

***************************

I matched with Scotland's heathery hills
The sweetbrier and the clover;
With Ayr and Doon, my native rills,
Their wood-hymns chanting over.

Congarcultations, Pammy!! I had a feeling you were probably going to be right. 🤣 You always are!

[Pamela]

I have a question for you:

Name the women who, together, wrote the book "The American Woman's Home" which was considered to be a classic domestic guide when it was released in 1869.

Thank you, Emma!

I like the word "stumpified" and am adding that one to my vocabulary! When the Gas Company arrives today, I think I will tell them I don't appreciate that they are keeping me stumpified about things! 😬😂😖😜

I'd like to use more than a new word on them! 🏏🏑🏒🥊😉🤣😂😤 They have NOT YET arrived and it's nearly 10:00!!! They have 6:00 a.m. printed on their signs in my neighbor's yards. Perhaps they do not know how to tell time!🤦‍♀️🕕🕢🕙🤬 If they do not understand time, I have COMPLETE faith that they know how to dig up a gas line!!!😠Sarcasm intended!🙄 If I get through this with my sanity (and freedom😉) intact, I will be lucky...and so will they!🍀LOL!!!

Well, I'll keep Stowe, since she came to mind immediately, and I'll switch Alcott with Sarah Orne Jewett.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

If I'm allowed to do that. 😬🤣

[Pamela]

Emma wrote: "If I'm allowed to do that. 😬🤣"

You are allowed! Today I am very grateful for my friends, so will be lenient. One of the women is not nearly as famous as her sister. OOPS! There's another clue for you, Emma!👭
Pammy Jo

**P.S. I am ALWAYS grateful for my friends, today just makes me super grateful!😘🤗

Sisters, eh?? 🤔🤣🤣

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

So, I now know the answer... But only because I did a bit too much research....so I won't say. 🐱

[Pamela]

Still no gas company, so I'm going to take time to test my blood sugar, take my insulin 💉 and get lunch ready.🥪🍅🍧Keep thinking, Emma!🤔 I'll be back.

I tried the "I won't say" approach. It doesn't work! Just go for it, Emma. Research sharpens the mind!🤯😆 I guess a grinding wheel would, too!😂🤣

Okay, if you say so... I feel bad, though. Meg and Dorothy haven't even guessed yet!!
I already had a feeling it was Harriet Beecher Stowe, so I just did a tad bit too much research and found out she wrote it with her sister, Catherine Stowe.
