I'm sure everyone today will have happy photos of great parties, but I'm struggling.
I looked for other meanings,and I found this in WordWeb Online:
Noun: party wall paa(r)tee wol
A wall erected on the line between two properties and shared by both owners.The picture below dates from last summer, and shows the white-painted party wall in our front garden, surmounted by what I take to be a party fence!
I checked my ancient dictionary - the 1948 edition of Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary - and it informed me that party-coloured is (or was then!) an alternative spelling for parti-coloured, which means partly one colour, partly another, or variegated. So here is a shot, also from last summer, of party-coloured or variegated leaves in the corner of the flower bed. I can't wait for summer to come again!
This last shot shows my party-coloured back fence, waiting for the clematis to wake from hibernation.
These apparently dead twigs belong to my Clematis Montana 'Reubens', which will look beautiful once it wakes in the spring.Visit tnchick to join the PhotoHunt fun.
Happy Hunting!

Interesting take. I immediately thought "Cake".
Very creative!
Happy hunting!
Great take on the theme! I had no idea that party also meant variegated!
Whatever the definition is, your party pictures are all nice to look at especially the flowers.
I like how you think about party theme. So different from others.Fun! Nice photos too!
happy weekend!
Hi! I love your take on the theme!
Very unique and informative!
Wow! Pretty interesting!
I've learned something from your party entry today :)
Thanks for sharing the information
Hehehe ! you found nice other interpretations for party ! I had also difficulties with this theme !!
Interesting.... I learn more different meanings of party.
Guess what? I am a party-colored cat!
That's sure a different take on the theme! Great photos and very interesting post!
What a great take on the theme - I hadn't realised "parti" had an alternative spelling - so I learned something new today. Which makes today special - thank you.
nice garden
Nicely done! I would have not thought of it at all...
what a way to define the word. very nice.
Very unique take on the party theme and great shots. Have a happy weekend.
Interesting for the theme of party, I agree, summer can't come quick enough!
Clever way of looking at things differently. Nice take for this week's theme!

Well done, well done! I so struggled with this one but party coloured didn't enter my head. Excellent interpretations. :)
I think your post has found the unique interpretation of the theme. All the kids' birthday parties are cute, but it is refreshing to see something different.
Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm full of useless information, but often short of ideas.
Bear in mind that my dictionary is old - I suspect that party-coloured may no longer be an accepted spelling ;o)
Very intellectually intepretation
me like
Well done Dragonstar. A refreshing change from children's parties. Have a great weekend.
Good take on the theme. Thanks for dropping by ;)
Nice one! That's very creative. Happy weekend.
Hey that's interesting and a really different entry for party. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, what an interesting take on the theme, just great.
Happy PH and happy weekend!
Good fences make good neighbours. If you like the neighbours a gate is good for parties, but if not, it is best to have it solid and high. Good take on party. Lovely photos.
creative use of the word party..i was like party is only party :) shows how non creative I am :)
Clematis always amazes me, blooming so vividly from seemingly nothing!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
Good job indeed with all that research as well as photos and written text! :)
enjoyed the parti-post.
None of those things even OCCURED to me before reading this!
don't know what's going on with Blogger, but had to reload the page three times to get the word verification to load!
Nice PH!
You are so creative. Thanks for yet another wonderful lesson and more great photos.
it's beautifully different! :-)
oh so that's the etiology of the word partition. clever!

no wonder your blog is rated "genius" -- who knew such party stuff existed?
Now that is a different take on the theme this week,..... quite creative. And can't wait to see the photos of the budding climatis,..... it's just around the corner. Have a good week.
Now that is a great idea for the theme. I never knew that definition.
Better get out the old dictionary again!
Super!
Happy weekend
L
great photos! nice entry.
I love how you went out of your way to share something new and original with everyone.
Hi Dragonstart. You have a unique take on this week's theme. Most of us went for the usual party concept...mine is a street party. Come see when you have time :D
What a great way to learn a language and find new meanings to words! Nice pictures, and thanks for the vocabulary lesson! Although I see that I'm not the only one who did not know that!
Thanks for the definition. It's interesting. And then I love your flower pic there.
This is a very unique interpretation of the theme. I always appreciate learning new things.
Good take on the theme. Thanks for stopping by.Have a nice week.
Love your outside-the-box thinking on this theme! And the photos make me long for spring.
I absolutely LOVE your take on "Party"! And your summer pictures made me hope that it will arrive here in Chicago early!! Thanks for stopping by my green party entry today!! Have a great week!
An interesting take on the theme. I enjoyed your pictures.
This is a great take on the word party.
