Normally it's larger drops and spatters that tend to come down, especially, with wind or rain.
That's what I've been seeing, the micro droplets. I have to clean the windshield on my pickup every morning. Just before I closed up the house for the night I stepped outside and my driveway felt sticky.

A friend thought it might be caused by an infestation of aphids, so I took a closer look at some of the leaves on one of the oaks in my yard and even with a magnifying glass I couldn't see any. That doesn't mean they aren't there, but just that I didn't see any.
