Change often came slowly to the South, but it often arrived with a whirlwind of effort pushing it along. Helen Stoddard, a force of nature unto herself, became a leader in the state with her efforts to defeat alcohol and promote women’s equality. Stoddard became an early professor and pursued a host of causes across Texas, including child welfare, women’s education, food safety, prohibition of alcohol, and women’s suffrage. Her stubborn mindset, coupled with a sharp intellect and fiery sermons galvanized legislators and public opinion at the turn of the century. Along the way, Helen Stoddard became one of the co-founders of what is now Texas Woman’s University and one of the first women to run for Congress.

Memorial Day weekend. What a glorious spring we have had so far! We had only five days above 90 for high temps. Hottest was 97 early this month. Official record high for May is 110(f) according to Wichita Falls records. We were 13 degrees below that record. Except for that 97(f) the rest of this month came smack dab in the “sweet spot,” (80 to 95(f). Today is 80’s with rain likely and these conditions are forecast to stay with us this first week of June. Most of us are at or above normal rain for May. Awesome… As it stands today at my house, flies have been around but not particularly bothersome. Mosquitoes also thin and skinny plus not so many. Tiny grasshopper enstars have just appeared the past few weeks. They are not high in numbers either. Still people complain.
