Default Sun still sinking south ?

Anyone else notice that the sun is still sinking south ?

I was thinking that the sun reached it's highest point in July
and would start moving the other way in the sky. In June,
the sun moved across the sky in a more northerly plane. In
May it was even further north. In September the plane it's
skewing along on is still moving south. I'm noticing this
because I'm watching the shadows of the overhang of the
roof and the shadows are indicating the sun is still moving
in a southerly direction.

What's wrong with my thinking? I was thinking it would reach
it's peak in July or maybe August (when it reached it's highest
point) and then the shadows would start moving in the other
direction. The side of the house that I'm watching the shadows
on is the south side. I'm in Tampa, FL, and for some reason
it's stuck in my head that the sun should start to travel a plane
that is more northerly each day.
