Hoses and faucets...patio cushions and umbrella taken to storage...Just gotta put the snow brushes in the car.

I got the creepy crawly scale on my star magnolia, so gotta go out and scrape some of those hibernating buggers off the branches; shucks, missed the right season to smother 'em with horticultural oil and don't want to spray pesticides around, so...put some dormant oil spray on the list for the branches I can't reach with my little scraper.
