President Joe Biden stopped to pick a dandelion for Jill on the White House lawn as they boarded Marine One

• Joe Biden stopped to pick a dandelion to give to his wife on Thursday.
• They're not shy about sharing their feelings for each other through public displays of affection.
• Biden told CBS Sunday Morning in August that his heart "still skips a beat" looking at Jill.

As President Joe and Dr. Jill Biden left for Georgia on Thursday, Joe surprised his wife of 43 years with a sweet romantic gesture.

The president and first lady are traveling to Atlanta for a rally, and they will also stop in Plains, Georgia, to meet with former president Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter.

As they were boarding Marine One on the White House Ellipse, the president bent down and picked a dandelion for his wife.

Jill Biden stopped to accept the flower.

She then held on to the dandelion as she boarded Marine One.

The couple still finds small ways of surprising and showing their affection for each other. Jill Biden painted "Joe loves Jill" all over the windows of his office for Valentine's Day in 2009, and he surprised her with a corsage of gardenias on Inauguration Day in 2021.

"I adore her," Joe Biden said in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning in August. "I'm gonna sound so stupid - I was saying the other day, when she comes down the steps and I look at her, my heart still skips a beat."
