This was growing with a bunch of weeds in a sandy/gravel area of our yard. I thought the leaves were pretty cute so I carefully pulled the two small plants and replanted them in a pot. They have been thriving in their new home! I’ve run the image through google image search three times but have gotten a different suggestion each time.

Looks like black locust (robinia psuedoacacia) although the pale color of the leaves is throwing me off. Invasive in many states and considered a weedy tree, I would get rid of it
A “weed,” is just a plant growing where you don’t want it.
My guess is chickweed, though the larger leaves make me wonder if it’s a related wild plant. The tiny white flowers and growth habit should make identification easier once it blooms.
Almost looks like eucalyptus
Cute volunteer! I’d keep it isolated until it’s identified, since some harmless-looking yard weeds spread quickly. A clear close-up of the stems and any flowers would probably solve the mystery.
Whatever it is, it’s a charming little volunteer! I’d keep it isolated until you identify it, since some oxalis species spread quickly, but the plant itself looks perfectly happy in that pot.
