Jessie Raymond

Jessie Raymond is a Vermont humor writer whose work finds comedy in the everyday experiences of home, family, and rural New England life. Her website brings together essays from “Around the Bend,” her long-running biweekly humor column in the Addison Independent, alongside additional writing and information about the author. With an observant, self-deprecating voice, Raymond turns subjects such as gardening, travel, technology, winter weather, marriage, and family life into playful reflections on the unexpected challenges and pleasures of ordinary days.

Readers can browse individual columns, including stories about adapting to new technology, coping with Vermont winters, and trying no-dig gardening, as well as a selection of earlier pieces. The site invites visitors to share essays with friends—or, in the spirit of Raymond’s humor, with their enemies. Those who enjoy her writing can also support her by buying her a coffee.

Jessie Raymond’s online presence offers an accessible home for her published humor writing and a warm introduction to the small-town observations that shape her work
