Tiny (!) blue flower in lawn, ID?
 

There's a really tiny blue flowered thing in the lawn

Opposite leaves, little hairs on the stem and leaves, slightly
toothed leaves.

Four petals.

Much smaller than a chickweed, which itself is pretty small.

Newcomb's Wildflower book doesn't seem to have it, or anyway
not where I'm looking.

The images of cc on the net seem to suggest it's a lot bigger in size.
This baby is really tiny. You can barely count the petals unless
you're nearsighted and so have a built-in microscope.

Also it has little hairs all over and cc appears not to.

Looks like some type of speedwell (Veronica), maybe corn speedwell
(V. arvensis)

Could it be "Forget Me Nots"? Are there clusters of little flowers?

Creeping charlie flowers are extremely tiny, and the leaves are hairy,
toothed and opposite. I am pretty sure your snappy is of creeping charlie.

Some people don't like creeping charlie, but it is very difficult to
eradicate, so many choose to live with it.

I said creeping charlie above, but the photos I've now seen of V. arvensis
make me lean toward that instead of cc.

More photos of your plant, please, OP???
