I know this is a subject matter that gets posted up from time to time; but today as I couldn't make it to Byron Bay for World Naked Bike Ride, I stayed home and finally ticked this item off my bucket list of things to do nude!
And it was so liberating. The neighbours on one side have gone away on holidays (vacation) and the two other lots of neighbours were out for the day (being Sunday). My family had headed out and I let my wife know that I would be mowing the lawns nude...she said perhaps the back lawn only then hey!
So I headed out to my shed with only shoes and a hat on. Got my electric mower out and just did the lawn nude. I then got my electric edger out and went around doing the edges. I must confess I did not do the front lawn nor the street nature strip nude, but with only a pair of shorts. One of my neighbours returned during this period and I just gave them a big wave and a smile; and imagined what it'd be like if public nudity was legal.
I sort of feel that doing something so labouring is part of the liberation. Just being unclad and free from the heat building clothing that I would normally wear was such a joy.

Over the years here in my rural home, I have planted quite a bit of landscape including bamboo that has created enough privacy that I have can mow about half of my 3/4 acre lawn in the buff. I do sometimes donald duck if the temp is cool, but am still bare from waist down. I even had a nudist house guest who mowed part of my front lawn in the buff. I thanked him for his service but did have him put something on to finish out by the road. Any chore down naked is less work.

You are exactly right about mowing the yard nude; it is so much more enjoyable. The area I keep mowed is probably 2-3 acres of actual grass & another acre of weeds & brush to keep tamed. I can mow about 2/3rds of it nude and shorts or long pants for the rest. When you start weed whacking brush with briars, long pants is the only way to go. I hope to one day be able to do about 90% nude but that will be all. There is a small strip out by the road with no cover that Ill never be able to mow nude but thats about it. May everyones hedges grow quickly & thick and bring forth that wonderful all over privacy!

GuyMar 10, 2024Ive also mowed the backyard nude and can agree that it was better than doing it dressed. I just have to time it when adult daughter and granddaughters arent around.

GuyMar 12, 2024[quote]Ive also mowed the backyard nude and can agree that it was better than doing it dressed. I just have to time it when adult daughter and granddaughters arent around. When our girls were young and still into being nude at home and around us, they'd ask their mother, "why does dad always wear shorts to mow the front yard lawn but is naked in the backyard?" hahaha We took the time to explain several times why we weren't naked all the time, everywhere. They finally understood. Years later, they'd listen more to their friends than to their parents and they decided to stop being naked at home and around us. When our girls had kids and would leave them here for us to watch, they all looked forward to using the pool and not having to put bathing suits on. The older kids to this day, mention that and how fun it was. They say that they ask themselves, "what changed? Why do we feel compelled to wear bathing suits when we don't have to?" We tell them that they will make that decision to go without when they are ready and it's the right time. We still do a fair amount of yard work naked. We have so much privacy landscaping that needs trimming to maintain they privacy we desire. It's not mowing the lawn but equally as satisfying. With the outdoor shower, it makes getting hot and sweaty easy to rinse off.[/quote] Ive been guilty of wrapping a towel around myself and turning on the hose outside of our fence to rinse off the mowing and the mower, havent had any reactions yet. As far as the grand girls, they like to run around the backyard naked ( 3 &6) and I let them, Gigi and/or mom will ask them to put clothes on, I laugh and say whats the big deal, if I had know more about nudism when you kids were younger youd have no problem with it.ReactReply - TD

Haven't taked out the trash in a towel, concerned about slippage.ReactReply - NK
nkhikerMar 12, 2024Unfortunately, I can't mow our home yard nude, but we have a ranch with a cabin. Once or twice a year, I mow and weed whack around there. That gives me a good chance to do some nude yard work. Nude target shooting is something a bit unique I've done there.

Summertime mostly, I'll do a few things out front and wear a sarong/pareo. I've sat out on the porch on the glider, naked, summer early mornings and late evenings with the porch light off. But daylight hours I will slip on the sheer short shorts or a sarong/pareo. I've hand watered in the sarong and the neighbors smile and wave. I'm usually in the sheer shorts most times out front. Our grandkids couldn't wait to come and swim here. They knew that they could swim naked. Since our daughters were raised nudists up until their early teens, they had no problem with their kids being naked in our back yard. I have a great picture of the four of them, born at the time, naked in the pool with Gramma. Yup, Gramma is naked too. The three oldest grandkids will swim naked at their parents home when alone, especially in the spa. Since the girls were being raised nudists and they married openminded men, they never saw a problem with the kids being nude. Our oldest SIL made a comment about the privacy we had in the backyard many years ago. He said, "man, you can do yard work naked back here." I told him that we did all the time.

WIN-WIN They have been here and have been in the pool naked but they won't lounge around afterwards without a towel or sarong/pareo. Before we took our trip to Club Orient with all of them, it was his idea to come over and break the ice with nudity with us before we got to St Martin. hahahaha ...

Naked-GMar 18, 2024Unfortunately, Im not brave enough to do my front yard nude, but during the summer I regularly do my back yard nude, including trimming the fence! There was one time one of the gates blew open. I just happened to turn around and notice! Had to walk all the way across and close it, I dont think anyone saw, but it did give me a laugh!

Naked-GMar 21, 2024Yes, you are correct., a lot of places. But it seemed you were asking about wearing only a long shirt when cutting the grass. My response was to that, I have not worn just a long shirt when mowing the yard. If it is warm enough to not wear a shirt, I will do just that.
