For me, it is \u201cWanderer\u201d a song Jess wrote with Colleen Francis.&nbsp; For Jess, it is \u201cGetting Better Alright\u201d.&nbsp; We used to sing this around campfires, at house concerts, and at those beautiful little gatherings that tend to pop up in Nashville on any given night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was wonderful to sing it again and to finally press \u2018record\u2019 while doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jude Holler Farm<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1253\" src=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-burkesville-kentucky-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting Better Alright\u201d is about the never-ending journey of knowing oneself and growing in the process.&nbsp; I know both Jess and I have come a long way since those early days in Nashville, finding clarity and a sense of rootedness in our own ways.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jess now owns the most beautiful farm and homestead in rural Burkesville, Kentucky with her husband, Neal.&nbsp; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/judehollerfarm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jude Holler Farm<\/a> is a gem of gems, and it\u2019s astounding the amount of work Jess and Neal put in to keep it running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jos\u00e9 and I were lucky to spend some time there, right after our Nashville visit and before heading to Memphis to spend Thanksgiving with family.&nbsp; Our visit coincided with the arrival of the kuni kuni pigs, and it felt good to be able to lend a hand even in our small way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friendships &#8211; and visits &#8211; like these are precious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1253\" src=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/jude-holler-farm-kuni-kuni-pigs-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1410\" src=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/art-we-there-yet-jude-holler-farm-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jess and I are old friends.&nbsp;
