戸内防重厄

華菓見分枝

厳霜纔過後

方可始相宜

  • Within your door, guard against double trouble
  • flowers and fruit are seen on separate boughs
  • only after the harsh frost has passed
  • will things begin to go well
Meaning
Things begin to go well only after the harsh frost has passed. Guard against trouble stacking up at home in the meantime, and let flowers and fruit grow on their own branches until the hard stretch is over.
What to do today
Find one small problem around the house and take care of it.
A word from the capybara
Wrapped in a blanket, waiting for the frost to melt.
