miss fix-it

In her Dora pj’s and tattered tutu, this little one rushed back inside after noticing a peg in the landscape edging that needed some attention.  She located her toolbox and selected the proper tool for the job- a red, plastic hammer.  Then, it was back outside to fix that unsightly blemish.
