Just out of curiosity. When does evening start to you? Sundown? 5 PM? 6 PM?
7 PM?

To me it's about 6 PM.

I wonder if the part of the country where you were raised would matter? Or
where you currently live?

I didn't Google this because it would probably affect my opinion.

The more interesting thing is how you rationalize your answer:

"When it (starts to) gets dark"
"When it starts cooling off"
"When the evening news airs"

I.e., how would your rationalization be affected by moving to the extreme
latitudes, a cooler climate, evening news at 4PM, etc.?

My ole body tells me. I haven't worn a watch or studied time in more
than a decade.

In the South. meals are often stated as; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Some regions call dinner, supper

I've always used breakfast, lunch, supper. "Dinner" feels like something
special, not a regular meal. Of course, when I'm alone I can eat without
having a WORD for it.

My parents called it breakfast, dinner (at noon), lunch
about 4 or so, supper at sundown or so.

"Vittles" is a good word.

Probably, but to me it's from roughly sundown'ish or a tad earlier to a
little past dark-thirty; it isn't a time but a season (so to speak).

"Lunch" is something city-folk have; in this part of farm country anyway
it's breakfast, dinner, supper. The difference is that "lunch" would be
considered a much lighter, less substantial meal like just a sammich and
such.

It was after chores were done on my parent's farm. They
did all the things people might picture as being farmer things.
Milking the cow, feeding the other cattle, sloppin' the
hogs, and feeding the chickens.
Running milk through the cream separator and picking eggs
were other routines.
The things I described were routine farmer things in the old
neighborhood. Those routines are gone for the most part.
The only animal on a lot of farms is the dog.
The cattle feeders do raise corn but it's for their own
use. Most of it goes into silage. They spread the manure on
the fields. The runoff from the lots goes into catch pits.
That stuff is pumped throughirrigation systems to get rid of
it and get the fertilizer value out of it.
Evening for me is just whenever I get off work. That
varies by season since I work outside for a farm related
business.

Yeah, dinner was something that happened on Sunday at 12 o'clock sharp
unless my mother's minister had a bug up his butt.

I'm one of those northerners. Vittles for me brings to mind a roast
possum with a persimmon in its mouth.

It's not "about" 6pm, it is 6pm. That marks evening's entrance.
Any questions, goober?

Those are called road-kill groceries.

Wrap potatoes in foil, place in the 'possum cavity. Bake for one hour.

Remove potatoes and throw the 'possum in the yard for the dog.

And 6AM begins the morning. At 9AM the morning is half gone.

If I'm home, 5PM
If I'm commuting from work, when I get home if it's after 5, or 6PM
even if I'm not home yet.

When I'm still out but I haven't been at work, 6PM.

It has to do with the rush of the day being over and being able to
relax.
