These are tiny wildflowers and the blossoms
are about one-quarter inch (6.35mm) across.
An ID would be appreciated.
The Culligan people are to come out today to either fix the leaky mess they put under our kitchen sink in 1994, or take it completely out of the house. The small pressure tank, tap, and filters have caused us no end of problems over the years due to numerous leaks. The tank and filters should never have been installed beneath the sink to begin with, but rather in the basement below; they take all the room beneath the sink and the area is unusable. This is the seventh time in the 14 years we've had the system that we have called them out to fix it, and our son has repaired it twice. The pressed-wood bottom of the cabinet fell out many years ago after getting soaked a few times, and several ceiling tiles in the basement bedroom have been replaced twice, plus one light fixture. I need the filtered water because i refuse to drink the crap (literally) that comes out of the city water system. If Culligan cannot repair this to our satisfaction, it will come out and we will go to Lowe's and get one of those bottled water thingies that uses the big jugs on top and chills the liquid. A lot more expensive initially, but it should be a lot lower maintenance. I would not recommend Culligan to anyone.

Temps here today are supposed to rise to the mid-sixties and we are to have rain. If so, spring should really put on a show by weekend when it is supposed to be warm and pretty. Picnic time in Tennessee!

I don't know if it was the massive doses of steroids the doc gave me along with the antibiotic for the pneumonia, or something else, but the RA has not hit me like it usually does after going that long without the methotrexate shot. In fact and over all, I feel pretty good. I know; knock on wood!

Yeah! Get that mix of meds and patent it! So happy you are feeling good.
I think those glass thingies work very well. Friends who live where they have vile tasting water have them and the water is good. I know nothing of costs of it though. Sounds like time to switch, though.
That little flower looks like a wild blue creeping veronica to me. Pretty little things. http://www.maltawildplants.com/SCRO/Pics/VRNHF/VRNHF-Veronica_hederifolia_t.jpg
The Culligan Man should replace the whole system. Hopefully they have paid to fix all the other issues.
I used to take the steroids each day, but they made me gain weight ... big time!!! There is always a trade-off, it seems.
If that isn't the same flower, it is close; especially the foliage. Thanks, Maggie.
They did repairs for one year under warranty, the rest we paid for. It was a $3k system in '94 (including softener), and it has cost us at least that much since then in repairs, maintenance, salt, and filters. The softener no longer works. Yesterday's cost was $65 to replace a two foot section of plastic tubing. We really don't have room for the big bottle machines, but the next leak will force us to get one anyway.
