Eeyore is always very surprised to hear that there is a "Donkey Day." He never expects anyone to celebrate donkeyhood, but the creators of the French Republican Calendar deemed that farm animal (Âne) worthy of respect on 15 Vendémiaire. Our "garden rock" featuring Eeyore contains the words "Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them," which is often attributed to Eeyore as a quotation from A. A. Milne, but which actually has no source in Milne's writing. Today is also National Noodle Day!
