Evening Name Check

Evening light turned the yard into soft gold commas.

Spike began a name check. Suzy answered who was seen where.

Name check is care that notices absence before panic.

Care closes the day with looking, not hoping.

Adventure Cap wanted a bedtime race. Care said notice first.

Thinking Cap habit: who, where, water, shade, latch. Cap does not invent missing animals.

Cap-13 freeze held — Cap cattle counted as cattle, not celebrity plot.

Little Thunder answered present with mahogany certainty.

Kids: at day's end, notice who is home before screens get loud.

Care names. Lead finishes latches after the check.

Tools remind. Soft looking still closes day.

Names checked. Soft night.

No Santa invent. Quiet farm-true close only.

Who. Where. Latch.
