C9 lights on the topiary

I put a couple of strands of C9 lights on my topiary this afternoon.  Those C9 lights remind me of my grandmother's cedar tree that my dad would string lights on each year for her at Christmas.  Grandma would always be so pleased, and I remember seeing the lights reflected in her wire-rimmed glasses as she looked at the tree.  The tree was a huge cedar that was way too close to the house, but it sure was a delight when it was all lit up.
Here's my topiary cedar.
