Creeping Charlie

This plant drives me crazy. It grows like, yes, the awful weed that it is.... I constantly have to dig it out of my gardens and flowers.. every. single. year. It is tenacious.  And yet... the first blooms are lovely and the bees really enjoy the tiny flower. It's one of the first things to bloom here. I actually don't mind it when it's growing out in the lawn. I'm not a lawn purest by any stretch of the imagination.

I know there are lessons here, that there is goodness in things we only see as irritations, that weeds have many uses, and tenacity has it's place and so on... I realize them. I will still call it every bad name I know when I have to dig it, again...
