This afternoon, I decided to mow the lawn, fully in the nude for the whole back yard and clothed for the front yard. Then, I began to take off a few fence boards in our backyard, also in the nude, so that I could begin work on straightening the fence that our immediate neighbour to the west knocked askew when she backed into it with a truck sometime last year.
I won’t be able to do all the fence work while nude, but it is more than I would have ever predicted in the past. Why? Why has it changed? Well to be honest, the only thing that has changed has been me.
The town has so few people in it during July that it isn’t really that much of a risk.
That said, I did push the envelope just a bit more than was sensible without suffering repercussions for being nude in public – I was on the neighbour’s side of our fence by the back alley for this last photo. Fence is now fixed and all is well. Obviously, no one saw me as I wasn’t reported nor has there been any vile gossip about that naked man in the back lane. Yet, I can’t be certain.
