So for those less talented at starting fires than I am, here is the easy 4-step method that I use:
1) Kindling - It's important to use small very dry twigs, branches, leaves, paper, cardboard, etc. as your base
2) Build a Tepee type structure with the medium to large sized branches, leaving plenty of room for air to flow in to keep feed the fire from the kindling.
3) Light the kindling using a long handled lighter, same as for lighting grills.
4) Kick back and enjoy!
Today we finally got some much needed rain. The temperature was still nice, in the mid 60's(F), and I thought I'd grab a couple of pictures. The Forrest takes on a little bit of a different look when it's raining, but it's beautiful just the same.
While I'm writing this the rain is easing up and clearing off, so we should have another star filled sky tomight. Tomorrow looks to be dry, sunny and mid 70's(F) again. We'll see what that brings!

My son is vain about the one-match fires he makes. No butane lighters for him. No sir!
I'm not thus afflicted.
