Default better pic of weed and Shamrock

I went and looked at a picture of speedwell,
http://altnature.com/Herbs2003/pages/speddwell5319.html

The weed in my lawn is not like that.
It's been 94+ for days, and this stuff hasn't suffered at all.
In fact, from spring through snow cover, this stuff always stays green and
hardy looking.
(that's why I'm sure it's a week, can't kill, hard to pull out of the
ground) LOL

No, the small narrow leaves are not 'toothed'. They have smooth.

And no flowers.

The vine sort of looks like speedwell.


Ya, really a lot like it. But speedwell should be dead now. It's been too
hot all over the country. Too bad there's no older leaves on the example
(to see if they're "toothed"), or flowers (to see if they're 4-petaled and
some shade of blue/violet).

Either way, I've always known speedwell to pop up in late winter, and be
dead and gone by the time it gets hot out. Maybe Jersey hasn't had the
heat
wave until now?
