Creeping Charlie is this a good Time to Attack?

I had a bad a case of CC the last few years. I found that Triclopyr works well. I put it down in the fall and where it went down seems to be Ok today. But other areas are starting to come up. Is this a good time to attack?

Not sure if I should post here or flowers...but anyway...
What do you guys use for flower bed weeds? I use Preen and it does not do a good job.

Is this Creeping Charlie?

How to Prune a Japanese Maple Tree

Image
I bought this tree about 2 months ago. It seems healthy.
My concern is that some of the branches have leaves in the middle, but just buds towards the end.
Do I prune up to the leaves or just leave it alone?
