It is a twist of the cliche "Life isn't a bowl of cherries". Decades ago, I saw an illustration, similar to that by Mary Engelbreit, but not identical (google it). A chair stacked precariously with bowls. Life is precarious, whereas, a bowl of cherries is bliss. I chanced to be searching for the illustration I remember, when I came upon this question. Why, yes. It is cherry season in Switzerland, and I'm about to make a pie.
