Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.

"Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people." - Genesis 25:8

While I was away in Charleston, Abraham the Tomato went from a promising shade of green to a beautiful, but fateful orange, as his vine withered away. Now it's entirely possible that this was his destined hue, as they were, from the outset, mystery tomatoes. It's sad, nonetheless, to see his vine pass on without bearing offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky. His partner, Sarah, is still clinging to life, but shows signs of an imminent orange transformation as well.
