Michael,

Without presuming to have correctly interpreted all metaphors, I believe the allusion is to a popular feeling in the days immediately subsequent to the November election.

Openly political, religious and other non-painterly divisive topics (not that there aren't divisive painterly topics) are generally discouraged here as a matter of practical decorum, as they throw all the Forum gyro mechanisms into decalibration.

Even these months later, I'm enjoying the weather -- though it's not too late in the northern year for a frost, and you have to watch the new shoots in the garden, the days warm enough now for those opportunistic rabbits to look for easy pickin's.
