Answer
Dear sldz22, while I can't tell you with certainly from the image provided (in part because I would need measurements of the corolla and stipules), the plants in the pictures is consistent with Desmodium canadense (showy tick-trefoil), and this is one of the most common species in the region. Best wishes.
