Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences offers a master gardener pollinator habitat certification. You have to provide food, water, and shelter, as well as reduce invasives and pesticide use.
The planning worksheet is great for anyone who doesn't know where to start. See the recommended #NativePlants list for people in the PA/Mid-Atlantic region.
The certificate (and sign) could prove useful for code enforcement/neighbors/HOA problems.

#OTD in 1860.
The first of Charles Dickens' literary sketches generally titled The Uncommercial Traveller appears in his magazine All the Year Round.
He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School in London, in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer.

#OTD in 1853.
Charlotte Brontë's novel, Villette, appears, its publication having been delayed in order to allow Ruth, by her friend Elizabeth Gaskell, to be given a head start in the press.
Villette was Charlotte Brontë's third & last novel published during her life. It was preceded in writing by The Professor (her posthumously published 1st novel, of which Villette is a reworking, though still not very similar), Jane Eyre, & Shirley.

Fun piece of trivia: The letters that spell typewriter all lie on the top row of the QWERTY keyboard.
Although the origin story may not be true.
"In 1867 a typewriter pioneer first set up the QWERTY arrangement so his salesman could peck out the word typewriter quickly and easily."
engines.egr.uh.edu/episode/719
"Apocryphal claims that this change was made to let salesmen impress customers by pecking out the brand name "TYPE WRITER QUOTE" from one keyboard row is not formally substantiated."
