Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year

Looks like Veronica persica, like the poster above noted, a "speedwell". It's exotic and naturalized but I don't know that it's invasive as it blooms early, stays low, and seems to only inhabit areas of high disturbance. I always enjoy seeings its flowers

Mason bees seem to like it, so I'm not against it.
