All of a sudden there are 3 apps on my desktop: calendar, photos and weather. Make them go away. If I want to open one of these apps they are already in the dock.

Make sure the Apps are not running, and drag each app up and off the dock until the word "Remove" appears next to them. Then release the mouse button or trackpad to remove it.
Alternatively, youn can right click, control+click or twin finger click on an icon on the Dock, select options from the menu that appears and then either uncheck the "Keep on dock" option or click on "Remove from dock" to remove the icon from the dock.

You mean the desktop widgets?
Right click an empty area of the desktop, then on Edit Widgets, then on the (-) sign on the corner of each to remove it.

The problem is not that they are in the dock. They are actually on the desktop, on the left side. There is my calendar for the month. A photo from years ago. And today's weather. And removing them from the dock does not remove these 2 x 2 images from the desktop.
Yup. It was the desktop widgets. Thanks for the guidance.
You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
