Yes, that time of year here in Virginia as well, even though today I will more than likely pull out the weedeater one more time for the season, to knock down the few tufts of green that are poking up more than the rest. Our yard isn't much work over all -- during the height of the season it still only takes about an hour for a full round of mowing and weedeating. And no, I don't miss it during the winter! Naked yard work surely always beats sweating through those regular chores with clothes on when the temps are high. Only one month to go before winter starts!
Ive posted this pic elsewhere I belIeve. One of the pair I wear, front or back yard.
I have several pairs of shorts like this in various colors that I will wear when mowing my front yard. Mine are made of a polyester blend instead of 100% cotton because they feel better to me. Due to the size of my yard, all of my mowing is while on a garden tractor or using a gas-powered weed trimmer. When it is warm outside, I always mow my backyard and part of the sides while nude. If I am mowing late and it is dark or near dark, I will also mow the front yard while nude. The only tricky part is mowing the shoulder of the road and the areas next to the ditch. I have to be watchful for oncoming traffic and either face them so that my headlights keep them from seeing me or drive into my yard to duck behind some trees. I'll wear my shorts when trimming the front yard and I'm always shirtless during the warmer weather.
I mow the back yard nude, don't have a lawn in front since I live on the side of a mountain. I do weed eat in front along the driveway, nudity depends on how high it is, I do blow off the driveway nude, gonna blow the leaves off tomorrow, it's supposed to warm up to 53 so should be nice enough to do nude.

You are more tolerant of cool temperatures than I am.
I have had heat stroke to many times to count. When you can't sweat, you know you're in trouble . My wife has come outside to tell me it's to cold and I needed to come in when it's 40 or lower, but if I am doing something, then I don't get cold. Plus the more you're in the cold the more tolerance you will have. I would much rather be in the cold than the heat, you can always put on more for warmth but you can't take more off than nude to be cool.

My mother would say the same thing up to the work warmth, but her minimum allowable level of dressing in the heat was fully clothed. What is the minimum temperature at which you are comfortable nude?
Depends if I am just tinkering then 50-55f, if I am actually working then down as low 40 for an extended time. If it's for only for 30 minutes or so then I've been out in mid 30s comfortably. Like I said I hate the heat.
Temperature (without wind) is a very relative thing. Fell asleep on a picnic table in Iceland once wearing just a pair of shorts, and got a pretty good sunburn. High for the day was 32F, but the sun was shining bright.
Came out of a friends house in Saudi Arabia in August and was surprised at how nice if felt outside. Temperature had dropped below 100F and the breeze was coming off the dry desert.
