simple pleasures -2 pips

This is our third weekend in the StayHome era and I think I need to count my blessings: 1. I have a garden, not a big one and rather unkempt, but a place to get some fresh air, exercise (and photo ops!); 2. I have always enjoyed cooking and these days the simple pleasures of home cooking are an important source of comfort. It takes my husband up to 50 minutes in line to go grocery shopping, so this colorful bunch of produce struck me as being not only beautiful but downright "precious". I look at them and think back to my mom's wartime stories, where she would ride her bike for 30 + kilometres to get a single egg. We are definitely not to that point, but still, all of a sudden, I find this wealth of fruit and veggies movingly beautiful.

Thank you, HappySnapper. I really like these tomatoes myself, even though these are from the hothouse and not very tasty yet. But still, a little colorful treasure!
Hope you are having a nice week (considering).

Beautiful still life images, Annalia. Strange days indeed, but you are right that the simple pleasures may help. Stay safe.

Thank you, George. It might even be a lesson worth learning. There's nothing else positive about this situation, but maybe we can learn to go back to enjoying basic things.
Or maybe I am just trying to be philosophical to keep from crying ...

come hai ragione....... mai come adesso anch'io centellino il cibo, non butto nulla e ho una rigorosa gestione di frutta e verdura fresca ( prima andavo al marcato, ma il mio rionale è chiuso da + di 2 settimane)

Lovely photo. You are definitely lucky! I am almost out of fruit and lettuce and will eventually have to go to a store - ugh! Even if I did have garden, nothing would be growing in it, yet.
