Need help Identifying a Weed

16 years ago

I hope someone can help me by identifying this weed. This stuff has just taken over my lawn. I think what happened was a couple of years ago I brought a truckload of wood home that someone had given me. The wood was from a fallen tree that was in a dense woodland type area here locally. I'm pretty sure that this stuff came from that wood because the origin of where this started taking over my lawn was where I had originally kept the wood until I could split it. Thank you

Red dead nettle. It's an annual. So you can pull the plants. Also be certain to remove flowers and any developing seeds.

Thank you for the response. I really appreciate it. Can you identify the creepy grass like stuff in the picture as well ? The creepy grass stuff is now blooming small blue flowers. This creepy grass is actually what has taken over the lawn. Is it part of the Red Dead Nettle ? I apologize if thats a silly question, I have no clue to plants and weeds and such. Thank you so much for the response.
