Default Trying to ID lawn weed

Little leaves like hopps. I believe they have blue flowers.

Checked http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/weeds_common.html &
http://www.rce.rutgers.edu/weeds/thumbnail.asp

Blue flowers? It could be some sort of speedwell:
Veronica arvensis, V. agrestis, V. persica
....and others...

Some of these are perennial, some are winter annuals.

Are the stems rounded or square? Any pictures available of the weed
in the lawn (or less wilted, with a scale nearby)?
