Is this your first visit to my blog? Welcome! (I&#8217;d hold the door open for you, if I had one here..) I&#8217;m guessing that a few people will be visiting who haven&#8217;t been here before, because I&#8217;ve done a little advertising in the newspaper, and it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve done that.

<p style="text-align: left;">Is this your first visit to my blog? <strong>Welcome!</strong> (I&#8217;d hold the door open for you, if I had one here..) I&#8217;m guessing that a few people will be visiting who haven&#8217;t been here before, because I&#8217;ve done a little advertising in the newspaper, and it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve done that.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In any case, hello! This site is here because I wanted to provide a place where you would find a great mix of Loudoun County news, events, and real estate market information, mixed in with my own occasionally witty observations, and some amateur local photography. Hopefully you will find it entertaining and informing. Please feel free to poke around, comment, <a title="Ask me a question, or send me a message...." href="http://www.locomusings.com/ask-heather/" target="_self">send me a message or ask a question</a>, or just read and enjoy. Make yourself at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Cheers,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Heather</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(and for the record, this site is absolutely my voice, but I don&#8217;t necessarily discuss myself a whole lot.  If you would like to know a little more, here&#8217;s the <a title="A bit about me, if you are interested..." href="http://www.locomusings.com/about-2/" target="_blank">About Heather page</a>.)</p>

<p>It&#8217;s only got a couple of posts so far, but look for weekly updates on what&#8217;s going on with the market in Hamilton, Purcellville, Round Hill, Lovettsville, and points west.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Please be safe today and stay off the roads if you can. Also, please don&#8217;t forget to clear the snow off your exterior HVAC  units so that they don&#8217;t freeze up!!</p>

<p><strong><em>&#8230;at least not here, on the blog&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<p>When I&#8217;m out previewing or showing homes, I frequently come across good deals..homes that are priced right, in great shape, one-of-a-kind, or just interesting.  I would <strong>*love*</strong> to write about them here to bring them to your attention, before they are snapped up by another buyer. <em>However</em>, <strong>I am not permitted to advertise another agent&#8217;s listing</strong>, so I can&#8217;t.  So, how do I get this information out to my readers?<strong> I send out an email update with my top picks;</strong> homes that stand out to me among the many that I get the opportunity to see.</p>
<p><strong>If you would like to receive these emails </strong>(which are on no particular time schedule, some weeks I don&#8217;t see any homes that warrant notifying my readers), just click the <a title="It's okay, I won't spam you. I promise!" href="http://www.locomusings.com/ask-heather/" target="_self">Ask Heather</a> button and in the &#8220;What&#8217;s on your mind?&#8221; box, say &#8220;add me to your hot homes group.&#8221;  It would also help to include your email address, so I know where to send it. =)</p>
<p><strong><em>Cheers,</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Heather</em></strong></p>
