Maureen, you have fiery red hair and there must be a lot of smoke in the air around you. Yes, ash is far less difficult to appreciate. We normally dispose of ashes by some method or another. Very amusing you are.

Smoke floats freely on the wind discovering new places, ash just lays there and looks old and grey. I can understand why you would choose smoke. :) Nice one my friend.
