The storm door is first, obviously. It'll be a quick project. I'm contemplating doing a nifty frosted design on the glass with some frosting spray, since the glass isn't tinted. Haven't decided yet.
The backyard also needs some serious work. I'd planned to build a pergola over the back patio in like, September, and it never got done. And there's a garden bed that was empty in the Fall, now full of weeds, that I wanted to have planted by now.
I'm also thinking of painting the fireplace wall in the living room because, well, let's face it - not enough things in my house are blue, LOL. Riiiight. But look:

This is the fireplace wall now. It's the same color as the rest of the walls in the living room, hallways, dining room, and kitchen (all connected).

This is what it would look like blue, and trimmed in the same white paint that I used to make a fake "crown molding" around the top of the room.
I kinda like the way it sets off the tiles, and the wood on the mantel.
Of course, it would also throw into obvious relief the fact that the blue ceilings are totally the WRONG BLUE.
Maybe I should do it all at once. Hm.
OOH! Or what if the tiles were turquoise??
Is my vacation over yet...
