In deep summer the sun rises north of the Small garden, deep in the northeast. In winter it sets southwest of the New Herb garden. In the solstices, due to the house's orientation for solar gain, the rising sun in spring goes right through the house and out the west window. Until we built the addition, that didn't happen in autumn as there were too many trees. But I expect it also does it now, as the trees are gone. I've yet to remember to watch for it...
