Title: I don't know what if anything this means.

As most of you know, Doris and I are in the process of moving to SC. Most nights, a friend or neighbor has invited us over for dinner or supper.

Last night we were leaving for supper and as we were driving away, noticed something above our door. On the drip ridge, there was a 5' King snake, maybe a foot above the door.

We'd both just walked out that door, and as matter of fact, had paused there to make sure we had our house keys with us. I had to go back in to get them.

Neither of us noticed a thing until we began to back out and obviously, neither of us had looked up.

We've been here for a long time and never seen a snake above the door.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Clark

Birds nest overhead somewhere? Whatever it was doing is most likely in your best interest. Pest control.

I always considered a Kingsnake as a good guy.  They will kill and eat other snakes such as a copperhead.

Yep he is a good snake to have around the house.  Most non-venomous snakes are good to have around the house except a gray rat (chicken) snake, bad attitude and bite readily.  The king wouldn't have hurt you if he had fell on you... might make you hurt yourself though.  ;D

I think you will need to consult Briscoe Darlin as to the spiritual ramifications of such a sign.
